A simple Google search already found two extensions which call 
parent::tslib_pibase (pp_lib and seminars). Who knows what's in TER and 
installations all over the world which calls the old style constructors 
(e.g. because they override the constructor)?

It seems to me that it's part of the '[TASK]' to properly deprecate 
functions. Alternative is to revert the change. (Not fixing this would 
effectively mean that the deprecation rule can be ignored in the future...)
