We wont be retaining old and obsolete API's forever. Sooner or later OSS 
API is going to be dropped from the upstream kernel. If application dont 
start using ALSA by then they will break. We cant prevent this.

We have dozens of packages that are  waiting to be reviewed. If you are 
concerned about this, you can help review the spec and point out any 
packaging issues.  Follow 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines. You dont have 
to be a extras contributor to help.
