If similar ratios hold for the Debian distro (with 10,000 packages),
it suggests that 100 will break.  That might be a show-stopper.  In
any case, in the past when we have deprecated a feature we've done it
over two *major* releases, as in: deprecate in 3.4, remove in 3.5.

The debian site says <http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/>
  'The major planned changes for sarge currently include ...
   and use of GCC 3.2 as the default compiler on architectures that used
   2.95 so far.'

which suggests it will be immune from any deprecation in the immediate
future.
