The exceptions to this are update_post_meta() and add_post_meta() which are often used by plugins in POST handlers and will continue accepting slashed data for now.
Introduce wp_upate_post_meta() and wp_add_post_meta() as unslashed alternatives to update_post_meta() and add_post_meta(). These functions could become methods in WP_Post so don't use them too heavily yet.
Remove all escape() calls from wp_xmlrpc_server. Now that core expects unslashed data this is no longer needed.
Remove addslashes(), addslashes_gpc(), add_magic_quotes() calls on data being prepared for handoff to core functions that until now expected slashed data. Adding slashes in no longer necessary.
Introduce wp_unslash() and use to it remove slashes from GPCS data before using it in core API. Almost every instance of stripslashes() in core should now be wp_unslash(). In the future (a release or three) when GPCS is no longer slashed, wp_unslash() will stop stripping slashes and simply return what is passed. At this point wp_unslash() calls can be removed from core.
Introduce wp_slash() for slashing GPCS data. This will also turn into a noop once GPCS is no longer slashed. wp_slash() should almost never be used. It is mainly of use in unit tests.
Plugins should use wp_unslash() on data being passed to core API.
Plugins should no longer slash data being passed to core. So when you get_post() and then wp_insert_post() the post data from get_post() no longer needs addslashes(). Most plugins were not bothering with this. They will magically start doing the right thing. Unfortunately, those few souls who did it properly will now have to avoid calling addslashes() for 3.6 and newer.
Use wp_kses_post() and wp_kses_data(), which expect unslashed data, instead of wp_filter_post_kses() and wp_filter_kses(), which expect slashed data. Filters are no longer passed slashed data.
Remove many no longer necessary calls to $wpdb->escape() and esc_sql().
In wp_get_referer() and wp_get_original_referer(), return unslashed data.
Remove old stripslashes() calls from WP_Widget::update() handlers. These haven't been necessary since WP_Widget.
Switch several queries over to prepare().
Expect something to break.

The tag cloud (plugins) and feature filter (themes) is sufficient for tag functionality. All three "search by" fields are already weighted for a standard keyword search through the WP.org API.
fixes#19619 for 3.4.

* Getters and Helpers: Introduces a series of methods to allow for easy generation of headers for display, and other theme metadata, including page templates.
* Screenshots: Handles support for multiple screenshots. (see # Additional screenshots must be PNG and start with screenshot-2.png, and be sequential to be counted. see #19816.
* Error Handling: Broken themes have a WP_Error object attached to them.
* Caching: Introduces a wp_cache_themes_persistently filter (also in [20020]) to enable persistent caching of all filesystem and sanitization operations normally handled by WP_Theme (and formerly get_file_data() and get_themes()). Themes are cached individually and across five different cache keys for different data pieces.
* Compatibility: A WP_Theme object is backwards compatible with a theme's array formerly returned by get_themes() and get_theme(), and an stdClass object formerly returned by current_theme_info().
* i18n/L10n: Theme headers are now localizable with proper Text Domain and Domain Path headers, like plugins. (Language packs may remove the requirement for headers.) For page templates, see #6007 (not fixed yet, but will be easy now). For headers, fixes#15858.
* PHP and CSS files: New methods that fetch a list of theme files (for the theme editor) only on demand, rather than only loading them into memory. fixes#11214.
Functions deprecated:
* get_themes(), get_allowed_themes() and get_broken_themes() -- use wp_get_themes()
* get_theme() and current_theme_info() -- use wp_get_theme()
* get_site_allowed_themes() -- use WP_Theme::get_allowed_on_network()
* wpmu_get_blog_allowedthemes() -- use WP_theme::get_allowed_on_site()
