Just to add my two cents here. We announced the intention to drop the old client some six years ago and officially deprecated it on Jun 5th, 2014. That's a lot of time for people to move on. AFAIR, the parts of ROOT that depend on the old client are redundant, not used for years now and can be disabled. There was the same resistance to dropping the proprietary makefiles and autotools builds. Sometimes you just need to make a cut.
