Why must software take care of the crap that users do? Either we force them to write proper code, or they never will. It's like with PHP, with the difference that we still have the option to make our templatewriters and coders learn, instead of having to support stone-age stuff with crappy workarounds. Every single extra step that has to be taken to get a WP fork up and running is one step too much.
