So you can create a mu-plugins folder in wp-content and put PHP files in it, and they will be include()ed shortly before plugins are. I sure hope this isn't a temporary thing. I have a system that requires me to do a couple things *before* plugins actually load, and this is pretty much the only way to do it.... It appears that WP 2.8 has *added* support for MU plugins.

That is: /wp-content/mu-plugins/my-hacks.php Doesn't even need to be named my-hacks.php. Any PHP file in that folder will activate.
