Comment (by azaozz):

 This ticket seems to touch the "Death: remove (finally) compat functions
 from the widgets API and cleanup converting of old settings (will require
 copious unit tests first)" point in the
 [http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/wordpress-3-3-proposed-scope/ 3.3
 schedule].

 IMHO the whole `switch ( $sidebars_widgets['array_version'] )` block must
 go. It was added to aid upgrading to WP 2.8. We still could detect
 `$array_version != 3` and delete the whole thing as incompatible.
