 > We could set WP_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS to true by default so it
 wouldn't change current behaviour. People that don't need deprecated
 functions could then set it to false.

 The big problem is when you need the function you need it.

 If it's on by default most people won't know to disable it, and we have
 conditional includes which object caches don't like.

 Also how do you deal with the install/activation of plugin/theme which
 still uses the functions when they are disabled.
