Comment:
I agree with this change, but am worried about backwards compatibility, so
I'm reopening to have more discussion, and frankly, get this ticket a few
more eyes and opinions.
I think core should (at least) have a default filter on
`wpmu_validate_blog_signup` to retain the existing 4-character limit.
If this rolls out as-is (allowing 1 character subdomain creation) every
popular sub-domain install with open registration will instantly have a
flood of 1/2/3 character subdomain sign-ups, which are sure to collide
with popularly used subdomains (`cdn.`, `src.`, `dev.`, etc…)
And since subdomains with fewer than 4 characters were previously
prevented by WordPress, it’s unlikely anyone running a subdomain multisite
installation would have put additional precautions in place in another
layer or system.
