Comment (by jorbin):

 My thinking is that it will help people clean up and test code if they see
 a deprecated argument notice. I don't expect code to break now, but I do
 worry if there comes a time in the future where there is a desire to add a
 new parameter to `term_description` and the committers then accidentally
 adding it as the 2nd parameter rather than the 3rd and code-breaking then.

 Something along the lines of:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
  function term_description( $term = 0, $deprecated = null ) {
     if ( null !== $deprecated ) {
         _deprecated_argument( __FUNCTION__ , '4.9.2', 'since terms are now
 split, taxonomy does not need to be passed to term_description' ) {
     }
 }}}
