Are there plans to make an official deadline to make KiCad GAL-only deadline and remove the legacy code?

View to encourage the implementation of missing features in GAL vs Legacy Canvas? 

Can ir be made usable in low end platforms without crippling functionalities and make good use of the advantages of higher end systems? I imagine using KiCad on a very low power ARM/MIPS device, or even a phone/tablet if the UI could be adapted to make it usable. 

What about systems lacking 3D acceleration? Are those going to be not supported after total GAL tension? Are there some planning to make an alternative renderer with low CPU platforms and usable on slow hardware from embedded platforms to old desktops?
