Comment (by azaozz):

 Been thinking whether the deprecation of `the_editor()` is warranted (the
 patch above "undeprecates" it). It seems it's on the borderline: on one
 hand the changes to the API are too great not to deprecate it. Actually we
 didn't have a workable API before, just a bunch of PHP and JS functions
 that needed some hacks to get them working.

 On the other hand `the_editor()` can still be used similarly to how it was
 used before, but with the new API it will also enqueue all JS and CSS
 needed for a working multi-instance editor.

 I've also been working on a compatibility class (to be used by plugins)
 that brings the new API to WP 3.0 - 3.2. It should land in the plugins
 directory in couple of weeks.

 In that terms it seems the scales tip in favor of deprecating the old
 functions.
