 FTP Servers really don't like hidden files, often due to the server being
 configured to hide them. This has caused compatibility issues such as
 #28013 & #34976

 We should consider changing it to a non-hidden file, initial suggestion
 would be something such as `wordpress.maintenance` or `wp.maintenance`.

 This would benefit us in that we'd no longer be creating/altering hidden
 files which are often treated as special by the system, which would make
 our upgrades more reliable.
