Fun 
The last time I did something like this, our security lead said “let’s not ship code that might trigger anti-virus heuristics” and we looked for a simpler way to do it.
@timkaye is right on both points - we’d be happy to add this in a future 1.x release, but right now we are too close to 1.0.0.
In the meantime here is some background/info on what we’ve done so far to enable backporting changes from WP: Backport WP5 trac tickets
We have some of the infrastructure to make this work, including a script that copies and reformats a WP commit for ClassicPress, but we haven’t decided exactly what we want to port yet, or how to organize those efforts.
Some changes could have compatibility implications since we still report our WP version as 4.9.x, but adding a filter is pretty harmless.
If you can use our backport script and submit a pull request to add this filter, then we will get it in a future 1.x release.
