Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #28172, comment 2

initial	v1
1		At a conceptual level, side effects like this belong after (or on, or immediately before) the save_post hook, not before it. Consider filtering the option's value instead. There's a hook for that in get_option(). (Don't forget to cache the result using e.g. A transient that gets deleted on save_post. That way, your plugin won't leave side-effects when disabled.)
