By creating this as a must-use plugin (note: mu-plugins folder must be manually created if not already existing), any theme or plugin updates that this might've been included in otherwise would not cause these filters to be overridden. (Most docs suggest placing these filters in a must-use plugin, or in a theme's functions.php file; but since we want to allow updates to themes, it's possible they'd be overwritten).
