 Hi,
 thanks for the patch! I want to discuss the use of a filter here.
 Currently the WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS can only be managed by an admin because
 it is a constant and can not be overwritten by a plugin. With the use of a
 filter, every plugin can register it's own domains. I think the purpose of
 the whitelist is that it is managed by an admin and not via plugins.
 Example: A plugin sends usage statistics to xxx.yyy.com. Now an admin can
 manage the whitelist and deny the access to this site. With the use of a
 filter the plugin can register xxx.yyy.com for the whitelist and the admin
 can not deny it.

 How do you see this whitelisting feature?
