I'm trying to push for that WordPress ticket, but it's unlikely that we'll get any significant traction for a while. The database class in WP (apart from being fairly horrible) is a huge component to make major changes to like that, and we have to consider backwards compatibility.

Here's hoping it gets merged in the next 5 major releases. I'm not holding my breath.

For the last one, won't people just move to the mysqli_* function group instead? It's almost identical API-wise.

Line 11 is "Added simplified password hashing API"
