I'm not sure what you mean exactly.

For sure legacy gadgets are supported as long as they are
a part of the mainline kernel. So any changes you make
to the kernel must not affect the legacy gadgets, or you
need to modify the legacy gadgets too and have them working.

But adding new legacy-style gadgets is a completely different
story. IMHO you need a _very_ good reason to succeed,
but I remember Felipe expressing an opinion that chances
or merging another legacy gadget were zero.
