Deleting Hello Dolly plugin is the very first task I perform whenever I deal with a new WP install. It’s a nonsense plugin. I know, I know, newcomers may find interesting to take a look inside to see how it’s coded… Bullshit. Given the tons of tutorials and information you can look around if you are willing to google for it, this plugin doesn’t add ANYTHING. Nowadays It’s a useless piece of code. If a plugin should be bundled by default, it should be something USEFUL, like a small UI (showing practical usage of how to code an admin side screen) allowing you to disable XMLRPC (practical usage of a filter) and showing and admin notification indicating that by doing so, some plugins could not send/receive info to/from external APIs (practical usage of an action).

So, I vote for it, kill the Hello Dolly and replace it for something useful, and that at the very least, may protect newbies’ sites.
