Comment (by bungeshea):

 It looks like implementing the changes suggested by @knutsp would require
 the introduction of at least two new functions:

 `load_dropin()`, which would take a dropin name (or filename) as a
 parameter and look for the file in the WP_DROPINS_DIR followed by the
 WP_CONTENT_DIR, and then load it if found. A deprecated notice would be
 issued if the dropin is loaded from WP_CONTENT_DIR.

 `cleanup_dropins()`, which would be hooked to the appropriate actions such
 as `activate_plugin` and clean up unused dropins.

 In which file would it be appropriate to introduce these functions?
