Comment:

 There are many ways to circumvent the problem.
 Correctness is useful.
 The changes were introduced partly to file size.
 It's ironic when you look at
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-includes/default-
 constants.php?marks=31-59#L31 what] follow, isn't it.
 Core is doable. Plugins are at runtime solvable.
 Remember these constants were introduced 21 months ago, WP 4.4 introduced.
 So there are, perhaps, potentially, 1.3 million deployed plugins impacted.

 Thanks for the note.
