How many percent is "most" people? What about enterprise users with complex setups/requirements, will they be supported or out-of-luck? Typically you'll have print servers with centralized authentication, possibly logging/auditing/billing, any this might depend on "the" component they'll leave out in the new product because, well, most people don't care about it...

But the old, complex cups doesn't go away if a new, sandboxed version is developed, so the people who want the complexities can evaluate whether the security trade-off is worth it, and use it anyway if so.
Which sounds fine? Most people don't want LPT printers support, they want AirPrint and WSD to just work.
