There will be complaints either way, even with infinite testing time. The 
user experience with printer applications is just much worse by design than 
with the good old CUPS 2 drivers. (E.g., one should not be required to point 
a web browser to an arbitrary port on localhost to configure a printer.) 
CUPS attempting to force printer applications on us by deprecating drivers 
is not going to make users happy no matter what you do. In the end, if CUPS 
upstream is not willing to keep classic drivers working, I see no other 
option than forking CUPS.
