What does obsolete mean anyway?
As long as the compiler remains backwards compatible nobody forces anyone to rewrite programs that deliver their requirements at the time they were developed.
Major compatibility breaks occur on a very long time-frame and most certainly with a version bump prominent enough to draw anyone's attention. Personally, I expect builds to suddenly break on dependencies rather than anything else.

It's a non-issue.
