Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Anyone that copies code out of files in wp-admin literally gets what they
 paid for. Short term, I think it's up to plugin authors to keep up with
 WordPress core when we/they use code without trusted conventions. Long
 term, this specific nook needs a trusted convention so plugins can avoid
 this situation in the future.
