Motif (the API) provides a fairly thin wrapper API around Xprint, which was 
defined as (a small) part of Motif 2.1.
That means that OpenMotif and Lesstif would need to change the ABI/API, and 
thus SONAME, if Xprint support is removed.
Packages which don't use the xprint API would continue to work, but those using 
the Xprint wrapper API  would stop working.

However, upstream OpenMotif has added an option to disable xprint, and AFAICT 
they don't change the SONAME...
