 Unfortunately that's not going to fly, as you know :)

 I thought we had a backup `require_once()` in `wp-load.php` already incase
 it was removed from `wp-config.php` but seems not, I guess the main reason
 that isn't there is due to the obvious BC issues:
 The major back-compat issue here is mostly that bad plugins / other stand
 alone scripts currently load WordPress by including `wp-config.php`
 directly rather than `wp-load.php` (which is a fairly "recent" thing, in
 the history of WordPress).


 Maybe we could just be more explicit along the lines of:
 {{{
 /*
  * That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.
  *
  * NOTHING PLACED BELOW THIS LINE WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON YOUR SITE.
  *
  */
 }}}
