Hey mpt,
I think the target is far enough but I wouldnt like to remove it from
the default install until upstreams adopt the new spec fully. Which will
take a long enough time. I think remove it cold turkey from the next LTS
release just to give it fair warning to universe app
and it seems that the Shell guys
want to do something cool here but it may not be within the spec of the
