Comment (by dd32):

 Alternative: Revert [38371] in trunk/4.8, switch to `require_once()` in
 `wp-settings.php` for 4.7 to avoid extra file churn in the minor, but also
 avoid this scenario.

 The con of changing this back, and even more of delaying it until 4.8, is
 that if anyone who between 4.7.0 and $release who expects the class to
 exist will hit a fatal. I can't see a reason for most users to need it.
