Comment(by demetris):

 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > I have an interesting idea for this -- we leave this as is until late in
 the dev cycle. Hopefully that fixes up a good number of plugins including
 BuddyPress. And then we add sanity checks before release. Perhaps crazy,
 but at least it'll fix up a lot of code along the way.

 Another idea would be to make a post on wpdevel, '''from now''', tagged
 ''31compat'' and going something like:

 Please check your plugins/themes with WP_DEBUG on WordPress 3.0.  If you
 get “Trying to get property of non-object” notices in WP 3.0, that means
 that your plugin/theme will cause FATAL ERRORS in WP 3.1.

 Why this happens: Blah blah.

 How to fix: Blah blah.
