I see other, one of them is BC breaks.

xmlrpc is used quite a lot still (limesurvey f.e. or moodle as this
other reply confirmed), removing without previous warnings or not even
trying to get a maintainer before moving it sounds a bit like a bad
move to me.

I never saw a project actually using wddx but I think we could see a
similar situation (with less impacted users maybe).

Cheers,
Pierre
