Comment:

 With 4.2 PT, Hostgator is throwing a 403 also when directly using wp-admin
 /press-this.php. I reached out to Hostgator asking for more information on
 what rule is being applied and determine if this is an area Core can
 improve or if HG needs to improve their rule, etc.

 Since it occurs with direct input, the patch to change the bookmarklet
 shouldn't be applied, IMO.
