 > I don't think this should be in core. Themes should not depend on, or
 access, `/wp-admin`. If they do, they should fix the "crawlablity" of it
 through hooks. Core may offer an ajax endpoint outside `/wp-admin`, if
 necessary.

 time, find another solution to this problem.

 Right now Core '''only''' offers ajax functionality through /wp-admin.
 Your proposal to CHANGE that fact is a much different discussion, IMO.
