In reply to Josh Broton.

Josh, let's be specific, by all means. Yes, the hook is addable. And of course the average user cannot. But isn't that the point? The average user is looking to the WordPress mother ship to take care of them and doing this "the right way" is important.

My guess (and most people in this thread seem to be on this side) is that the average user isn't exactly clamoring for this change, so while the ability to turn it on IS a good thing, having it on by default (or on, period), Just ... is ... not.
