Old description:

> WP defines a large set (thousands of lines of code) of XML-RPC server
> methods in `xmlrpc.php`.
>
> Unfortunately, WP's server class is defined, instantiated, and executed
> all in the same file, which makes it difficult to use those methods
> elsewhere (for example, in my JSON RPC plugin).
>
> My patch moves the XML-RPC class to a file in `wp-includes`.

New description:

 Filter the `wp_xmlrpc_server` class or use some other means so that plugin
 authors can extend the XML-RPC server functionality.

Comment:

 All of this is valid discussion fodder, but not what I was really hoping
 to accomplish.   I am changing the title of the ticket to reflect its
 conversational trajectory more accurately.
