New description:

 Since [11105], BuddyPress is no more loading deprecated code if you
 installed BuddyPress when BuddyPress version was upper than 2.7.

 That's because the `bp_add_option( '_bp_ignore_deprecated_code', false );`
 code was only added into the function to upgrade to 2.7.

 You can reproduce the issue installing BP 9.2.0, than update to current
 stable and you'll see deprecated code is never loaded.

 That's really annoying because, we can never be sure plugins stopped using
 deprecated code. We should at least make sure to load latest deprecated
 functions.

 I believe we should take a decision about it, before our next major
 upgrade.

 PS: working on codex/documentation update made me find this bug 😉.
