Retiring such a library

Is this true?  One could drop a library and it's dependants and that would be that.  The trouble only comes if one wants to drop a library without dropping it's dependents, but in this case I wonder how much an extra six months notice really helps.  Having an impending deadline seems like a significant motivator, to me.
