Comment (by dd32):

 Are the DB details really actually useful to debugging anyones sites?
 Keeping mind that these are likely to be copy-pasted and/or sent to plugin
 developers as part of debugging:
 > Database user
 > Database host
 > Database name
 > Database prefix

 Assuming someone can access the page, it's fair to assume that these
 values are correct, and broadcasting them isn't likely to be useful to
 anyone.
 I'd be curious to hear if anyone has any real reason of why they're useful
 (knowing that the prefix isn't `wp_` can be useful sometimes with badly
 coded plugins, but that's about it IMHO)
