Possible.  Though it'd probably be 20 before we got around to it  ;)

It's a fair point that it might be handy to have it nicely
differentiated, particularly if some day we decide to retire it.
Dunno how well we'd really manage to have both cases solidly working
long-term; I have a feeling some bits will creep outside of ifdefs
just through attrition over time.  Maybe that's not a big deal.

P'raps after settling switching it around to #ifndef NO_EWMH rather
than #ifdef EWMH.  On the theory that it gets us closer to "normal
builds require no -D's".  A long discussion could probably be had
about our existing long-standing options like that; maybe we'll have
it at some point.

I would think it might still be used by GTK1 apps.  Of which there are
few still in use, but probably not quite none (xmms, frex; I still
have it around on several machines).

Away...  from...   email?  I don't understand    ;)
