Comment (by georgestephanis):

 > Correct. The whole reason for contacting @markoheijnen was to tell that
 the filter does not what it "says" it would do. It does not disable xmlrpc
 it just removes methods with login needs.

 Yeah, that's not the case.  There are a not insignificant number of folks
 that click 'Disable XML-RPC' or some option in a 'Security' plugin without
 understanding what it means, that this would suddenly break a large number
 of connections if we suddenly expanded the scope of what a filter actually
 does.

 :-1: to modifying the existing filter.
