Comment:

 r32454 should be reverted, bbPress and BuddyPress both use
 `convert_smilies()` and we're far from the only two plugins, see
 https://github.com/search?q=user%3Awp-plugins+convert_smilies&type=Code

 Per the current releases of bbPress and BuddyPress I'd expect to be able
 to install WordPress 4.3 and the respective bbPress or BuddyPress versions
 and be able to enable this option to `Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P
 to graphics on display` and have this ''smiliey'' post content continued
 to be rendered graphically.

 The change in r32454 removes this capability for new installs with
 existing plugins, I agree that this is a good decision that should be made
 but not right now, plugins should be given sufficient time to implement
 this change before forcing their hand.
