Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Let's revert [31850] for 4.2 and start updating the args and codex to
 indicate that the register_sidebar args are no longer optional.

 From an API point of view, you won't be able to force anyone to do this
 unless you add a new arg to the function.  The `id` would become
 deprecated, and its replacement such as `id2` could inherit the `id` value
 if set.  If `id` and `id2` are both not set, then it would be possible to
 notify the developer to add the `id2` value only.  When added, the data
 are not lost because the `id` value is unchanged.
