 Replying to [comment:51 dave1010]:
 > Are any functions / methods going to be deprecated as part of this
 change or is that something for the future? Can `$wpdb->escape()` etc be
 deprecated in favour of using `$wpdb->prepare()`?

 Maybe. *_post_meta() will probably be deprecated in favor of
 wp_*_post_meta() or whatever we end up naming the no-slashes-expected
 variant. In IRC we tossed around the idea of adding meta methods to
 WP_Post instead of introducing new wp_ prefixed functions. It is likely
 time to deprecate $wpdb->escape() and esc_sql().
