The problem with this is that we cannot arrange for a replacement with "similar
capabilities" automatically. It's very hard to give all the guarantees required
when you're not a distribution integrator.

I recall this has been discussed before. Some random seach hits:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xdg/2015-June/013517.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2012-December/012593.html

But the email I was actually looking for is:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-June/003935.html

It has been thought about before, and concluded that it is best to not try to
make up some replacement that may or may not work correctly.

I would be tempted to close this as WONTFIX, but let's see if there are better
ideas today.
