Considering that we just had a discussion about a significant
application that's still using it, I'm not sure what's your hurry.
Is your intent specifically to break OpenACS in hopes of getting
their attention?  If so, you need to be a bit more up-front about that.

(I would actually not mind getting rid of it, because that would greatly
simplify a problem I'm wrestling with right now, namely how to put hooks
into the parser for resolution of plpgsql variables.  But we need to be
honest about what it's going to do to users.)
