Comment (by DavidAnderson):

 Denis: I dealt with that suggestion in the rationale given in the original
 text. 1) Such a solution involves setting up a custom solution for
 monitoring the appearance and disappearance of WordPress installs on the
 server 2) WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR is site-level configuration, whereas the ticket
 is about providing a solution for server/system-level configuration.

 WordPress is increasingly being approached from a systems administration
 angle, as well as a webmaster angle. System administrators have been
 designing 1-click installers, and looking at how they resolve problems
 like brute-force attacks, auto-modifying robots.txt (e.g. Crawl-delay),
 and the like (examples in the original text). Presently, WP makes this
 dificult. The other solutions so far suggested are very cumbersome. My
 simple patch makes it easy.
