 While working on a pretty large site Im running a large import of users
 (20,000+) and I'm afraid of going down the wrong path.

 Core WP lets me define any user_meta I want in the meta table, but this
 data isn't then tied back to xprofile data so its not easy to display on
 profiles. It does however let me use get_users() which I can then query
 that meta data and return an array of users.

 Which for example I wanted to pull everyone with the state of TX is very
 easy. If this data was xprofile data its hard to query that data.


 Looking at bp_core_get_users it already joins the xprofile table so
 converting off from "meta_key"/"meta_value" to "field"/"value" shouldn't
 be too bad.

 This would allow a single bp_get_users() to pull users based upon their
 profile data.

 In the mean time I'm adding meta AND xprofile data which is redundant but
 a stop gap until I can either code my own query or bp adds one.
