SANE 1.0.9 will have support for both the scanner driver and libusb. However, some backends (drivers) still have hardcoded links to /dev/usb/scanner? so it will take at least one more version to get it right. So basically, no, the scanner driver isn't needed in future. If the removal is only in Linux 2.5, I think that's ok. For 2.4, I wouldn't do that because people tend to update their kernels more often than their SANE package and shouldn't lose their ability to access USB scanners. I don't know vuescan very well, so maybe it depends on the kernel scanner driver. I have no idea about other packages. But that's just my personal opinion.
