 > To test, set {{{$sidebars_widgets['array_version']}}} to 1, for example.

 Was thinking it's time to remove that code completely. It was used to
 convert the `$sidebars_widgets` format in WP 2.2 I believe.

 Without it the worst case scenario would be that all widgets are dumped in
 "Inactive", and it will be overwritten on the first movement of a widget
 on the widgets config screen.
