Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 This is probably not an ideal place to discuss this, but I'd like to raise
 a concern I had in my mind for a long time.

 In WordPress, we have files that we can call directly from the browser
 (for example `wp-admin/options-writing.php`), and ones that we cannot
 (such as `wp-blog-header.php`). I totally agree that we need some sort of
 consistency, because at the moment, it is not clear which files are meant
 to be entry points, and which are to be included.

 I wonder if there was any discussion to move the include files to where
 they belong, or rename them (for example to `.inc` in Drupal style), so
 they can be blocked from web server configuration and save ourselves of
 the early-exit calls, while also getting some potential opcache benefits?
