Should 3.2 still search backward/ headers by default?

Personally, I'm tempted to be with Phil, but weeks ago, when some 
backwards bits (backward/hash_map, I believe) turned out to be broken 
due to the ext/ work, *two* people (Jakub Jelinek and Philipp Thomas) 
noticed it at the same time! Therefore, I'm afraid a few widespread 
packages still use them heavily :-(
