Via Reddit, Apple is dropping a bunch of CUPS features like browsing and 
PPDs that aren't used in OS X:

http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/2012/002412.html

We will probably manage to not care because the Linux packagers are good 
at what they do and at picking up maintenance for things like this, but 
it's potentially worth someone taking a brief look at.

I wonder if it's worth being on the printing-architecture list.
