[Bug 1425972]
It isn't clear to me what the final resolution is. Is -remote going to
stay, or will it be removed?
-remote has been part of the API for quite a long time. Pulling it
without an _extended_ notification (on the order of a year, say) will
inconvenience a lot of people. Firefox and Thunderbird are upgraded a
lot more frequently than most packages, and you have no way of knowing
what software out there relies on -remote. In particular, I know that
GNU Emacs does, and it is not updated very often (the current release,
24.4, dates to 10/2014; the previous release, 24.3, dates to 03/2013).
