Can you say which systems? I am just curious to see what systems
out there still use stabs. Also, do you have an idea of long
you might have to continue supporting stabs (it's ok if you do not
know or do not want to say).

I think that's a fair understanding, although I don't know of any
maintainer that still uses DWARF, so maintenance is likely to
remain limited to integrating patch submissions such as yours.
