 Replying to [comment:41 aristath]:
 > Are we saying that we don't want to do something in WordPress Core,
 because there's a ''possibility'' a plugin ''might'' do something bad?

 As far as I see, not quite. The difference here is to impose certain
 restrictions on what plugins can do. This is similar to adding a `private`
 method to a class, instead of adding a `public` method and hope that
 plugins won't use it.

 I agree it is a harsher way to do this (see previous comment), however
 imho this would be a good "code design" decision that would make
 everybody's life easier in the future.
