   >  why? security!
   > = obscurity
 * I do not agree with this statement. Security has a lot to do with obscurity.
 * Wordpress particularly gets hit by a lot of bots (not humans) which roam the 
   web for /wp-admin/ and then try default ‘admin’ and go to town on brute forcing.
   A lot of the WordPress sites I host get hacked often because of poorly coded 
   plugins or because of /wp-admin/ and it would be wonderful to change the URL.
 * I believe vBulletin and others have been doing this since day one. But that’s
   just my two cents.
