 As a heavy user of WordPress I can say that the 'wp-' prefix slows me down
 a lot when trying to find, navigate and modify files and directories via
 Terminal/SSH.

 As a user I really see it as an unnecessary prefix which only serves to
 make the files and folders more verbose than they need to be. I know the
 install is WordPress and don't need to be constantly reminded in every
 file I open.

 I think removing the prefix will help make WordPress cleaner and easier to
 navigate, even though it may be a breaking change (which would have been
 ideal to introduce into the 4.x family)

 This change could also apply to the WordPress API which has a tendency to
 use the wp_ prefix for classes and functions, however that is a separate
 discussion.
