Well, it seems that one such crusade is already taking place. The
crusade will even affect software like Autoconf, especially the
countless configure scripts that have already been generated and are
being included with software:

Looking at the comments in the latter article, you can see that the
crusade has already been demonstrated to break many pieces of software:
SDL, zsh, just to name a few.
