If I understand correctly, right now annotations are essentially fossilized
--- nobody adds new annotations, and due to small test coverage, it's hard
to make sure that existing annotations are not broken.
IMO, it would be great to remove them, tomorrow. However, it's probably
more of a political question, than a technical one, so no estimate
of low long they will stay can be provided.
