I just noticed btRigidBody::getCenterOfMassTransform() and btCollisionObject::getWorldTransform() are the same thing.

I suppose this happened for historical reasons. Or perhaps they are supposed to be different somehow? Is there a plan to clean away one of those?

I don't see how one can be removed without forcing a lot of people to rewrite their code.

You don't see a way because there's no way.
It's not like this is going to be a problem: there's another call which is doing exactly the same. Functions go deprecated every once in a while, it's how things go. Even OpenGL dropped a few things.
