Comment:

 It should be get_bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ), not site_url( '/xmlrpc.php'
 ). That adds the ability to filter the pingback url and redirect it
 elsewhere. You could, if anyone ever wrote one, delegate pingback handling
 to a service.

 I'm in favor of Core handling this. It never should have been theme
 territory and your points are all valid. However, this was rejected before
 my tenure in #10094, so I'm not sure if it would get through now. I think
 we need to get more consensus on whether this would be even considered for
 a commit.
