BTW, the guideline doesn't say "prior to the current version". It says
"more than two major WordPress versions", period, full-stop.

Two major WordPress versions are 3.4 and 3.3.

This affects more than just add_contextual_help, BTW. From the theme-check:

array( 'screen_layout' => '$current_screen->render_screen_layout()', '3.3' ),
array( 'screen_options' =>
'$current_screen->render_per_page_options()', '3.3' ),
array( 'screen_meta' => ' $current_screen->render_screen_meta()', '3.3' ),
array( 'media_upload_image' => 'wp_media_upload_handler()', '3.3' ),
array( 'media_upload_audio' => 'wp_media_upload_handler()', '3.3' ),
array( 'media_upload_video' => 'wp_media_upload_handler()', '3.3' ),
array( 'media_upload_file' => 'wp_media_upload_handler()', '3.3' ),
array( 'type_url_form_image' => 'wp_media_insert_url_form( \'image\'
)', '3.3' ),
array( 'type_url_form_audio' => 'wp_media_insert_url_form( \'audio\'
)', '3.3' ),
array( 'type_url_form_video' => 'wp_media_insert_url_form( \'video\'
)', '3.3' ),
array( 'type_url_form_file' => 'wp_media_insert_url_form( \'file\' )', '3.3' ),
array( 'add_contextual_help' =>
'get_current_screen()->add_help_tab()', '3.3' ),


All of these are marked as REQUIRED because they were deprecated in
3.3. So what you're saying is that all of these should actually be
allowed but are currently being blocked.

And that's fine, no argument on that point. Just fix the guideline to
state that 3.2 is okay, that we actually allow THREE versions of
support.
