 they were at previously)

 [25469] broke one of my sites.

 After upgrading the [http://wordpress.org/plugins/audio-player/ Audio
 Player] plugin, I noticed that its JS files failed to load. Turned out the
 permissions for `wp-content/plugins/audio-player` were reset to 750 on
 upgrade. Once I changed them to 755 (the value used for other
 directories), the files started loading again.

 I guess we should restore 0755/0644. For reference, the `ABSPATH`
 permissions on my hosting are:
 {{{
 fileperms( ABSPATH ): 0710
 fileperms( ABSPATH . 'index.php' ): 0644
 }}}
 Looks like files in the root directory would have failed to load too, but
 somehow they all load fine. The issue only affects the directories inside
 `ABSPATH`.
