 Replying to [comment:30 TobiasBg]:

 > Due to there not being a feasible path to fully switching to a new
 function name, the rich history and widespread use of `do_shortcode()`,
 the low use of `apply_shortcodes()`, I would therefore actually suggest to
 deprecate `apply_shortcodes()` again. There's no need to keep a rarely
 used alias that Core itself will not be able to use and that plugin
 developers have not started to use in 6 or 7 WP releases.

 Deprecating `apply_shortcodes()` sounds like the next logical step. But
 even if it is deprecated it cannot ever be removed. So perhaps the docs
 can be updated a bit and it can remain as an alias. Extenders would still
 have the choice to use it. However the chances to confuse new contributors
 will be super low.
