Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Using `ABSPATH` is intentional here, see [25616] / #17092 and
 comment:1:ticket:37060 for more context.

 Switching to a relative path would make the code rely on PHP
 `include_path` configuration, which in some scenarios can lead to
 including a wrong file and causing obscure issues.

 Using a full path guards against that.
