    Provide a simple examination of directory structure and return pass/fail for each file and directory. Add a level of self examination that can quickly diagnose potential problems. and make recommendations for file access type.

    This does sound like a plugin to me. A useful one, but a plugin nonetheless.

    There's all kinds of things people can do to penetrate a site. I think this would give people a false sense of security.

    While it is true that it might give people a false sense of security, it could cover known issues and help compel people to upgrade. Any psychological impetus for them to upgrade for mandatory security upgrades would be a good idea, as well as help them justify such upgrades.

    I think this might be a good idea, but not a good way to face it; we all know WordPress has lots of security issues, just knowing about them it's useless if these kinds of things aren't taken as a fundamental development goal... we shouldn't live expecting warnings and patches, but instead preventing exploits and creating better security practices
