Actually, there are a couple of things here:
1) The GNOME 1.x library stack. I think we're close to being able to
lose this and move it to a compat lib status, similar to compat-glibc,
etc. Mark it as deprecated and actually get rid of them within a
release or two. The amount of new software being released still using
we should indeed more agressively start marking such libs compat-*, even
if there's like one package in our distro still using it I guess.
What we can do in a somewhat later phase is prevent development against
these legacy libs somehow...
