I’d guess the main reason is that Apple and Novell had enough foresight to make their proprietary file sharing and printing protocols run over IP. And for Apple this has been the case, since when? System 7.5.? Earlier, even? I’m curious what it is your are running in sufficient numbers to make Appletalk mandatory? > As far as the kernel-level support, I assume you're just removing all > the code tied to the kernel options NETATALK and NETATALKDEBUG?

IIRC - and I used to use CAP a lot - it uses BPF to get the interface into promiscuous mode and does all of the protocol itself. So as long as the upcoming changes do not touch the BPF API, you should be fine.
