Ticket #60398, comment 96
v2 v3 1 1 This is a critical issue. This is basic stuff. Don't expect every person on the planet to know that they can't use their Mac OS for zipping files. Zipped files are ubiquitously used in the WordPress eco-system. 2 2 3 I have already been unable to install several plugins due to this issue. I have had to re-archive them to install or use the filter. And I only know this because I am "in the know" and actively on social media. Any average user will be stumped and not know who to turn to and may take days to get resolved after they have perhaps chased down their web host who then tells them to talk to their plugin or theme dev. 3 I have already been unable to install several plugins due to this issue.

Any average user will be stumped and not know who to turn to and may take days to get resolved after they have perhaps chased down their web host who then tells them to talk to their plugin or theme dev. And that theme dev or plugin dev may not be even available or all that accessible. So then you have third-party person they might find somewhere (often the host) telling the to add this filter to a code snippets plugin. And inevitably, they will do it wrong due to curly single quote or whatever and crash their site. 4 4 5 5 This needs fixed in a patch, not next major version. Core team is wrong to think the workarounds are practical for the vast majority of people in the world. And that 6.5 will fix this. People will be running 6.4.3 for a long time, and the people most impacted will be end users as well as any person providing support at any level for WP including designers, builders, web hosts, etc.
