I can confirm it works, at least it did almost an year ago in Ubuntu Netbook-Launcher for ARM, that uses EFL. It is good to see the dead code removed. On the dependencies and distros, although Fedora does ship with the new version, some distros do not as few software *depends* on that lib. Although gtk/pango uses it, they have their own copy statically linked and do not depend on that lib.
