 Welcome to WordPress Trac @diablodale

 This crossed my mind when looking at ways to unit test the
 {{{wp_privacy_generate_personal_data_export_file()}}} function. I haven't
 looked into the internals of  WP Filesystem API, but I suspect it could
 make the testing easier. It seems e.g. Drupal is using ''vfsStream'' to
 mock the file system, but the requirements are PHP 5.3.

 I think this is a restriction for plugins that write the upload folder,
 but not for core in general, but it seems like a good suggestion here.
