>From my perspective, as per Mike’s comments, I’d say “let’s move on”,
- Darwin8’s DWARF support is good enough for C at least
- as per my other comments, there remain ways forward for someone who really 
wants to support it (TenFourFox seems still active and I do get a few queries 
per year from folks working with Darwin8).
- deprecation gives other folks a chance to shout if they care.
