Wordpress(-mu): Big changes coming

Hi, Wordpress maintainer here.

In order to protect against two CVEs*, I'm upgrading Wordpress in all 
releases to 3.1.  In addition, this will obsolete wordpress-mu, since 
this functionality has been migrated to the main wordpress release as of 
wordpress 3.0, and wordpress-mu has been deprecated upstream.  I would 
not normally make so drastic a change on any stable release, especially 
EPEL, but backporting patches to the 2.x series is becoming increasingly 
unmaintainable.  This is already done for rawhide and F15, and I intend 
to build for F13, F14, EL5 and EL6 today, and send them to testing, and 
then push to stable one the appropriate period has elapsed.

Please redistribute this to anyone you know who might be affected and 
may not be on this list.

Thank you,
Jon
