I cannot agree more with Chip on these points, especially in cases where the "new" function replacing the "deprecated" function is simply a find and replace process then what is the issue with making it a requirement to use the current correct function?<br>
<br>I would be willing to accept a short time line of one or two major releases with __specific__ exceptions noted explicitly by the __core__ devs otherwise a 30 day grace period from the release date of the current version is fair (provided the queue does not exceed that same period).<br>

<br></blockquote></div><div>If someone from the core team or Automattic want to volunteer to maintain the allowable deprecated function call list from release to release, and keep the Theme Review Guidelines updated accordingly (i.e. listing every allowable deprecated function), then perhaps we can consider revising the current guideline. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Otherwise, I'm not going to commit to reviewing each deprecated function call ad hoc, and assess whether or not its allowable. That's just not efficient or effective use of Theme reviewers' time.</div>
