I've not looked at Shade's plugin much, but we might be able to create an upgrade module for it. We don't want to get in the habit of providing upgrade modules for every plugin though.

if a core feature is eliminating the need for a popular plugin - Shade's twitter & facebook plugins as an example - I think a converter should be written, if possible.

Yes, but there are also several other plugins that either do or have provided the same functionality. I simply mean that we cannot be expected to support them all out of the box
