Comment:

 This ticket was discussed in the bug scrub. Here are some thoughts:

 - Despite touching WPDB, the patch seems safe as it eliminates invalid
 ports that shouldn't work anyway. - The nullable concern has been verified
 as an issue with PHP's documentation.
 - Per the discussion in the bug scrub, adding `needs-testing` and `needs-
 unit-tests`.

 @johnjamesjacoby do you have time to work on the unit tests in time for
 Beta 1 on Tuesday, April 12?
