I saw something related to this, but it still probably winds up being the same amount of effort. Just being notified of which files are deprecated would be a start. Perhaps in the upgrade.php script for each upgrade - regardless of database updates. It could check for files that are in the base install against the base install directories (wp-content/*, wp-config.php, .htaccess, wp-includes/languages/* would be ignored for example) I still think the directory structure could be setup a little bit better. Having the language information mixed in to wp-includes, having wp-config.php in the same directory as core code, etc... that mixes things up. It would be nice to have a totally "3rd party" area and a core code area that is completely separate :) Thanks.
