Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 At a cursory, this is a really great first step.

 In my imagination, the upgrade routine to 2.0.0 would look at the existing
 bp_pages setting, and create the appropriate rewrite rules for each
 directory. If no bp_page setting exists, we'd use a constant, or finally
 fall back on the default slug.

 I think root profiles won't be that bad. Existing code for bbPress's root
 forums handles this scenario, and I'm hoping that using rewrite rules will
 allow any component to exist in the root, barring the usual and obvious
 slug collision problem that exists in WordPress anyways.
