Looks like ECMA1 deprecation has caught up to the equal precedence issue since you posted this.
I think I’ll start offering some ECMA1->ECMA2 upgrade services. I suppose not everybody has an xMA developer in their back pocket!
I conducted a linkedIn poll to find out what others thought of the features that are deprecated starting in FIM 2010 R2 SP1. For the poll I only listed the ones I put in my top 5 list. With 15 votes and 1 abstention I thought it would be worthwhile to publish the results:
Here we can see the winner:
Multi-mastery/equal precedence (I had this 2nd)
ECMA1 (XMA) (I had this third)
Remember that these features are still here but will be removed in a future version (probably the next major release or the one after)

Unselect “allow nulls” for exported values
You need to be more careful to ensure that you aren’t deleting values
Web Service configuration interface
You will no longer be able to send a request to the web service to update the mv-data or ma-data objects in order to configure the sync engine. The article says that we will be able to use PowerShell to configure the sync engine.

I have heard that investments in FIM CM are continuing. So don’t worry about FIM CM disappearing.
Yesterday Microsoft published a list of features that have been deprecated in FIM and will be removed from the product at some point in the future. In other words these don’t require immediate action but when the next major release of * Identity Manager (* because we don’t know what the new name will be – see my tweet from last week at the Redmond Identity Summit) emerges those features will likely be gone. So over the next 18-36 months you need to begin working away from these issues.

Deferred evaluation of criteria based groups
This setting can be enabled one group at a time. You can also change the default so that as new criteria based groups are created they will be set for Deferred. The default is to calculate group membership twice a day at 2:30 AM and 2:30 PM.

Today Microsoft announced the discontinuing or subsuming of many products in the Forefront line
To be crystal clear Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) and Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) live on as separate products with ongoing investment!
