Description

Hello

As WP 5.1 will remove all "blog" references, does it make sens to deprecate get_bloginfo() & bloginfo() and create similar function get_siteinfo() and diteinfo() ?

get_bloginfo() is probably one of the most used functions in WordPress. There‘s no real value in renaming it just for the sake of it.

Agreed. Documentation changes (like #41000) are much easier because they don't impact developer code. Deprecating something like get_bloginfo() would probably only make sense if we were also refactoring how it worked and where it pulled its data from. There will be plenty more "blog" references for years to come. :)
