Comment:

 Thanks a lot for your feedback @DJPaul 👍. I'm suggesting to only load
 deprecated functions when the BuddyPress version when it was first
 installed is lower or equals the list of previous BuddyPress major
 versions.

 I've prepared 2 patches, one if we want to make this move in branch 10.0:
 the downside would be that people installing 10.3.0 would load deprecated
 functions as well as those upgrading. See
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/8687/8687.branch-10.0.patch
 8687.branch-10.0.patch].

 As we've waited for a bunch of versions, we can also wait for 11.0 and
 only use

 8687.trunk.patch].
