Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Sorry for coming to this late but I think the docblock for the deprecated
 function will need to be updated.

 Typically WP keeps the description of what the function does, at least in
 summary form. Developer.wordpress.org then picks up the warning from the
 docblock, in this case:

 {{{
 @deprecated 5.8.1 Use sync_registered_widgets()
 }}}

 My inclination is to hold of deprecating this until a major release
 (either hard or soft deprecation) as the function has been around since WP
 2.8 so there isn't any urgency for limiting the use of the function in the
 wild.
