We're unlikely ever to get rid of LNKLSTxx fully (for the most part, the 
support is just there and does no harm and requires no updates).

We "could" write a health check, but that would have to follow or 
accompany a "recommendation", and might not be worth the effort.

If you're not utilizing the dynamic capabilities, for most cases, there is 
no benefit to moving from LNKLSTxx to PROGxx (other then prettier syntax).
The new function I'm looking into will be the first such case that comes 
to mind where it will be beneficial. So there will be an incentive for 
those wanting the new function.
