Comment (by johnpbloch):

 Replying to [comment:6 itsananderson]:
 > I've added a modification of Eric's patch that aliases get_permalink
 rather than deprecating it. This way people can use the intuitive name,
 but legacy code won't break or throw deprecated notices.

 It doesn't make sense to me to add `get_the_permalink()` without
 deprecating `get_permalink()`. It seems to me that doing so would only
 further fragment the codebase rather than simplify and standardize it. The
 discussion we need to have (and which Nacin has already started) is
 whether the benefits of replacing `get_permalink()` with
 `get_the_permalink()` outweigh the costs (the cost being that ~90% of
 plugins and 100% of themes would need to update the function; not to avoid
 ''breaking'', but to avoid showing warnings when `WP_DEBUG` is enabled).

 I personally think that the benefit does outweigh the cost.
