 > This situation is why I have advocated for new `wp_update_postmeta()`
 and `wp_insert_postmeta()` API methods (and included them in my original
 patch). The `update/insert_postmeta()` calls have too much existing
 documentation that show passing the $_POST data directly in as a value.


 We did add new wp_update_postmeta() and wp_add_post_meta() functions (the
 previous ones did not have the wp_ prefix), in [23416]. scribu, though,
 was using the lower update_metadata() directly, which was changed from
 expecting slashed data to expected unslashed data.
