Since v0.8.0 [[#261](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/261)], WP-CLI has used a forked version of this bootstrap file, called `wp-settings-cli.php`, to give it more control over the load process, providing features like `--skip-plugins`. But, because WordPress can require new files from `wp-settings.php`, maintaining a forked version has the unfortunate side effect of WP-CLI [regularly breaking when a new version of WordPress is released](http://wp-cli.org/blog/versions-0.21.1-and-0.20.4.html).
