Comment (by jeremyfelt):
Thanks for the ticket and patch @bugeshea!
I'm personally a fan of this. It would be great to have a directory to
separate out things that exist in a different frame of mind from plugins
and themes.
I do wonder about backward compatibility. I know there are several
plugins—some very popular—that create dropins for database connections or
object caching when installed and place them automatically. Without
looking, my guess is that they toss these to `WP_CONTENT_DIR` because
that's how it has been.
Would it be safe to make a change like this in core?
