Maybe you should respond to Nicolas' last posting in this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-05/msg00263.html
However, it doesn't look like :noweb-ref functionality is going away, but
it may be shifted to require a noweb reference *evaluation* of a src block
or lob block or maybe an idiom that looks like such (with the reference
name as an argument) to invoke it. When that change occurs, I expect that
a replace-regexp would be enough to update a file that uses :noweb-ref.
If you want to get ahead of that change, you can probably assume that
:noweb-ref headers will continue to exist and roll your own src block to
handle the invocation. `(org-babel-map-src-blocks nil BODY)' with a
suitably tooled BODY seems like it would be enough. See the docstring.
If you require chained *evaluation* (including the _results_ of chained
src blocks rather than just the src block bodies), you might show an
example. So far, there hasn't been much concern that chained *evaluation*
is useful. But it can be supported via the lob/src block gambit and you
might get some tips on how to implement that or maybe convince someone to
create a lob block that handles your case.
HTH,
Chuck
