How do you propose that WP solve DoS attacks against their application?
This script simply doesn't seem particularly slow to me, despite messing with the parameters a bit.

Perhaps most people here are missing the fact that you can hit literally any part of WP a lot and it will break.
Where "this attack" equals repeatedly requesting a script which isn't even particularly slow compared to other part of WP...
>it's to prevent massive force multipliers
This is not a "massive force multiplier". Please spend a tiny bit more time looking into the subject.
>Someone just found out about this vulnerability
This is grossly misrepresenting the issue. There is no vulnerability, webapps are slow.
>that doesn't mean to get all stressed out about it. You are replying to ever comment that isn't aligned with your opinion at this point.
Not getting stressed out is exactly what I am trying to advocate by calling out people spreading FUD.
