Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 birgire]:
 > So checking {{{get_site_option('initial_db_version') < 23588 }}} is to
 ensure ''backward compatibility'', that only activates these deprecated
 user contacts, for installs made before the deprecated change was made
 when {{{$wp_db_version}}} was {{{23588}}}.

 Correct, this check means that those fields are no longer displayed in the
 UI for new installations as of WordPress 3.6, and are only displayed on
 older installations.

 That said, I think it's now safe to remove them completely from the
 codebase.
