The fix is an obvious one, and one we've made before to other parts of WordPress, so I'm not worried that it'll be bypassed (past similar fixes would have been bypassed by now). It does call attention to it, but any PHP script kiddie worth his salt would have been able to pick the change out of a big changeset anyway.

Oh.. by "Head Start" do you mean at attacking blogs that haven't updated?
If that's what you mean, I guess that does have some logic to it...

Yep... normal WP users aren't on the wp-testers list, so it could give troublemakers a head start against them.
