I hope not.

If a library uses an obsolete library in its API, then it should
consider providing an alternative API using newer alternatives alongside
the old API.

If a library uses an obsolete library as an implementation detail, then
it's not harming anybody. The library can switch to a more modern
implementation when and if this is convenient.
