12996,"Clean up some redundant options from new blog setup, and remove legacy wp-hacks support",solarissmoke,,"In the process of updating some plugins for WP 3.0 I came across a few things that look like remnants of old WP versions that don't need to be there any more:

The following options are created during installation, but are  redundant:

- gzipcompression (see [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10365 #10365])

- advanced_edit (no idea what this was for)

- hack_file

With regard to hack_file - it's been deprecated since 1.5 and there is no longer an admin option for it - isn't it about time to remove it completely? See also [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9551 #9551]
