Comment (by markoheijnen):

 I totally get what you are saying and I do understand how APIs work and
 that you should never change the behavior of an API. In this case it's not
 a behavior change or at least not a breaking change since people using it
 should already checking if the API is functional since people can delete
 is or block it.

 Closing this as wont-fix is not a good idea but do get that it's to late
 for 4.5. The only impact of causing issues I can see is people using
 Jetpack but my feeling is that people who are disabling the XML-RPC are
 not using it.
