Comment(by azaozz):
It seems that 7-8 people have been very vocal in trying to persuade the
rest that this filter is "evil" :-) (yes, the bulk of the comments both
here and on wp-hackers are from the same few people). However the main
argument used seems misleading.
This filter '''does not''' change user content or the meaning of it.
Grammatically the word "WordPress" in a name (whether trademarked or not).
All text editing software would capitalize names correctly by default if
the user mistypes them.
This filter has been available to millions of WordPress users for a long
time. Adding it in core makes it available to all users. I'm sure almost
everybody has had an accident where a spelling mistake has caused them
embarrassment, grief, loss of reputation or even larger problems.
Why would the opponents of this filter want to deny the benefit it brings
to so many WordPress users?
