> yes binary support will remain.. if you need to generate new ones (?)

You say this as if no-one would want to do it, but I still use
programs (lisp and prolog compilers) that need to generate and read in
compiled .o files, and "undump" themselves after reading in such
files, and which are never likely to be updated to know about (the
much more complicated) elf format.
