I think that we'll need to maintain them for quite some time, between 6
and 18 months,
to ensure that everybody upgrades their programs adequately. After that,
we'll probably
disable them by default, but provide a "--enable-old-internals"
configure option, just in
case.

in other words, the hacks are going to stay in the sources for a very
long time :-)
