What needs to be done?

We should clearly inform how we load deprecated code:

By default:

  • Fresh installs: no deprecated code is loaded.

  • Upgrade from a previous version: the 2 last versions deprecated code is loaded.

  • Explain why we are using a 12.0 exception

  • Explain how to disable deprecated code loading

  • Explain how to force deprecated code loading

See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9210
