Twitter REST API 1.0 will stop working and break contrib modules

Since a few months ago the Twitter Developers Blog has been announcing an API cleanup which states that the REST API 1.0 will stop working in the coming days.

This is the list of modules that currently use the old REST API 1.0:

• Twitter Pull. There is a patch that makes a dependency with the Twitter module in order to use the new API.
• Twitter Block.
• Twitter Follow Block.
• Twitter DB.
• Twitter username.
• Twitter Profile.

What I suggest is that these modules depend on Twitter module and change their API requests for the following:

    // Connect to Twitter.com and retrieve favorite tweets.
    module_load_include('inc', 'twitter');
    $twitter = twitter_connect();
    if ($twitter) {
      try {
        // The following retrieves favorite tweets for a user account. See the Twitter class at
        // http://drupalcode.org/project/twitter.git/blob/refs/heads/7.x-6.x:/twitter.lib.php for a full list of available methods.
        $statuses = $twitter->favorites_list($screen_name);
      } catch (Exception $e) {
        // Network errors can throw a Twitter exception, which we catch silently.
      }
    }

Thoughts?
