I'm regularly using xmlrpc and know of at least one customer using
it extensively. Your patch should update the documentation on xmlrpc
and the release notes (upgrading.txt) should mention that existing
xmlrpc scripts will have to be changed.

Are you planning to implement a REST API or why do you want to change
this? (this is no opposition, just curiosity)
