Comment (by desrosj):

 In [changeset:"61864" 61864]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61864"
 Editor: Bump the database version to `61833`.

 The option to enable real-time collaboration was first added in [61689] as
 `enable_real_time_collaboration` with a value of `1` and the `$db_version`
 was bumped in [61696].

 The option then went through a series of changes. This included: the
 default value changing to `0` in [61702], being renamed to
 `wp_enable_real_time_collaboration` in [61722], removed entirely in
 [61828], and finally being re-added as `wp_enable_real_time_collaboration`
 in [61862].

 Because the `$db_version` was not bumped after these changes, it’s
 possible that the `wp_enable_real_time_collaboration` option is not
 present on any site that ran the nightly build generated between [61696]
 and [61702], or a nightly build/beta release published after [61828].
 Since `populate_options()` runs when a new site is installed, this issue
 only affects pre-existing sites that had upgradd their database when
 `wp_enable_real_time_collaboration` was not specified as a default option
 within `$defaults`.

 This bumps the database version to `61833`, which is the most recent
 changeset to have modified the `$defaults` array in `populate_options()`.
