Personally I've seen somewhat competing concepts evolve in the tree over the past years, specifically python/ruby eclass (r)evolution springs to mind. Stuff didn't immediately get deprecated in those cases but only after a certain period of burn-in for the newer work. I guess this case is somewhat different in that the outcome is a bit more visible to the average user and people want to remove the thing entirely. If this is a step in that direction fine and maybe this will help spur discussion to get that moving somewhere. Tim
