Comment:

 Following on from some discussion in #core, it's been suggested to un-
 revert this before beta 1 ships, in order to gauge its impact. If a term
 is already shared, the benefit of splitting it most likely outweighs the
 cost.

 Additionally, we should fire an action after the term is split, to allow
 plugins to perform damage mitigation with regard to stored term IDs.
