Go for a pragmatic approach? Look for those headers, say in github and 
stackoverflow. If you see many repositories where code includes the 
header, and many stackoverflow questions about them, try and avoid 
breaking them. If you don't see any, there may still be users somewhere, 
but they are likely quite few and you don't need to care as much.
