FWIW, Sun seems to plan to get rid of it (for 3.0), too:

@rene:  ...but at least for the usage of STLport within the C++ UNO ABI we
cannot drop it, unless we drop compatibility (which we do not really plan for).

sb:

How should I read that page then?

The OpenOffice 3.0 code line will be the first chance in many years to do a
number of changes which will break the strict binary compatibility and
patching requirements on the current SRC680 code line.

"will break [...] binary compatibility requirements"

The following is a short list of changes which are planned before the first
release of OOo on the new codeline.

[...]
   * get rid of STLport, use system STL where applicable

What we're discussing here ;-)

To not stretch hijacking cmc's issue too far, lets move the discussion here:

The binary compatibility release engineering is talking about on that Wiki page is between OOo-internal libraries (so that new OOo minor and micro versions can potentially be distributed as patches that include as few files as possible). This is not related to the binary compatibility guarantee for UNO's external ABI.
