Comment (by F J Kaiser):

 After searching through core with all options setup during
 {{{populate_options()}}}, I can confirm that there're no changes with
 v3.5. The options that should get deprecated (still) are
 {{{gzipcompression, hack_file, advanced_edit}}}. The only thing, that I
 can't confirm is the {{{use_trackback}}}-option, as I don't find any usage
 in core and I'm not sure if/how this would be used by a theme or plugin.

 There are also options left from {{{bookmarks.php}}}, where I'm not sure
 if they shouldn't get moved to a filter callback that hooks into
 {{{do_action('populate_options')}}} (which is the hook at the beginning of
 {{{populate_options()}}}) and adds them on demand. List of bookmark
 related optinos: {{{links_updated_date_format,
 links_recently_updated_prepend, links_recently_updated_append,
 links_recently_updated_time, default_link_category}}}.
