Comment:

 There are ~30 files in core with `_deprecated_file()`, why only this one
 is being patched? Is there anything specific calling this file directly,
 but not the others?

 Not arguing for or against the change, just for a consistent policy.

 This is also not limited to `_deprecated_file()`, as noted in comment:3
 and comment:1:
 > You'll get a similar error if you access `wp-includes/default-
 filters.php` or any number of others too potentially.

 Should we try to address other instances too and edit the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/reporting-security-
 vulnerabilities/#why-are-there-path-disclosures-when-directly-loading-
 certain-files security handbook] accordingly?
