Yes, I mean Connector/C. load_defaults() is de-facto part of Connector/C
because any client (*) that wants to support /etc/my.cnf have to use
load_defaults().

(*) and I mean *any*, not "mysql command line client". Gentoo portage
has 162 ebuilds that depend on virtual/mysql, with examples like
games-strategy/freeciv, mail-filter/dspam, media-sound/amarok.
