Comment (by r-a-y):

 __A1 - Meta key sanitization removal__

 It's a little weird for devs to be using characeters outside
 `[^a-zA-Z0-9_]` for their meta keys, but yeah, let WP handle meta keys.

 __A2 - Meta value trimming on deletion__
 __B1, B2 - Strict type checking when fetching meta__

 No complaints here.

 __B3 - Getting meta with no meta key__

 > For bp_activity_get_meta(), the return value is at least structured in a
 way where someone might use it.  However, I think that the chance of
 breakage is fairly slight, and we can publicize it prior to release. I
 recommend that we move to the BP return format.

 So to confirm, you want to move to the WP format or the BP format?
 Regardless, I'm fine with either option.
