 One-line summary: please add support on wp-login.php for
 modifying/removing the title there

 Details:

 I encountered what appeared to be a bug with a "Coming Soon" plugin that
 really appears to be bug (or maybe it's a feature request; lack of
 seemingly basic functionality) with wp-login.php.

 Here's my original request to a "coming soon" plugin developer, SeedProd:

 "The site title still shows up on the login page when this 'coming-soon'
 plugin is active and the user is not logged in. So let's say the site
 title is 'Foo.com, the best new bar widget' and you wanted to keep it a
 secret until launch that foo.com sells bar widgets. Any Joe Q. Public can
 go to foo.com/wp-login and see the site title and learn that you're
 selling bar widgets. I would expect a 'coming soon' plugin to remove the
 site title from being displayed on the login page when the user is not
 logged in."

 The developer responded "I checked the wp-login.php template and the title
 is hard coded in the page. No way to filter it out. If you don't want
 people to know the title in the site just change or remove your title in
 the WordPress settings until you go live."

 It seems reasonable to expect a developer would be able to make a WP
 "coming soon" plugin that makes the site title completely non-public.
 "Just don't add your site title until going live" is not a good workaround
 since that's a core part of demo'ing the site to internal users (I can't
 be like "here's your new site except I can't add the name of it until
 launch").
