 It's impossible to rename the file 'xmlrpc.php' to something different
 (for eg when your hosting provider blocks the access to the xmlrpc.php
 file) since the prefix "xmlrpc.php" is hardcoded within the src code. You
 can rename the file but the XML-RPC call wp.getUsersBlog always returns
 the hardcoded URL.

 Same issue for the pingback link and the EditURI link.

 We pubblished a plugin that should help users for the time being:
