That would be ideal. Are we to that point currently? If so, I vote let
it EOL.
FWIW, I no longer install tpb on my thinkpads as the
quirks/gnome-clever-stuff get better and more functional with each
release. So from a user perspective, this is now a Works Out Of The
Box experience and I see no problem with tpb being deprecated.
