 Who knows what some plugin is doing as a side-effect in their
 `'post_edit_form_tag'`?

 Don't see the difference between the status quo -- needing to remove
 everything -- than the proposed change, which not only will require
 parsing whatever earlier filters have added, but also what back-compat
 actions have been added, as well as priorities because later actions will
 override things (in a much different way than filter followed by filter
 would). I prefer this as an action. Not a filter.
