Comment:

 In [changeset:"36311"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="36311"
 Users: Deprecate the `get_currentuserinfo()` pluggable function.

 It encourages an ugly pattern like `global $userdata;
 get_currentuserinfo();` in plugins/themes. `wp_get_current_user()` should
 be used instead, e.g. `$current_user = wp_get_current_user();`.

 Props scribu for initial patch.
 Fixes #19615.
