Comment:

 I suggest to only keep variables that wordpress requires to work with but
 add a filter if there isn't one yet so the user/plugins can supplement
 more parameters if need be. Always remember that someone might actually
 need that query parameter ABC that was originaly passed on.

 I'll check the core this weekend to see how i can submit a patch regarding
 this.

 Note that a modification of this nature will break existing plugins and
 themes that rely on that buggy feature and thus will probably not be
 merged before a few cycles until everyone gets notified about it.

 I might actually suggest two patches, one to add the filter first (If it
 doesn't exist yet) which will do no harm but offer an immediate response
 to all developpers and then in a later cycle, we can introduce the fix
 that will break plugins and themes that still rely on it and haven't
 changed their methods to the new one.
