If I understand things correctly these are only the recipes that you have
actually build that have legacy-staging (my current file lists only 1:
libtool).
However there are way more recipes around that use legacy staging.
Not fully sure if this is a right measure but there are 1140 recipes in my
tree that have a do_stage word in it. 21 of these are things like
do_stage_append, the other 1119 are having do_stage as a word.

Grep output from my tree:

frans at linux-suse:~/oe/openembedded/recipes> grep -l do_stage */*.bb | wc -l
1140
frans at linux-suse:~/oe/openembedded/recipes> grep -l -w do_stage */*.bb | wc
-l
1119

I suspect all of these need fixing (or removal).

Taking alsa/alsa-lib as an example (as this one was near the top of the list
if you do a grep.
There are 9 versions in the tree:
alsa-lib_1.0.11.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.13.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.14.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.15.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.17.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.18.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.19.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.20.bb
alsa-lib_1.0.23.bb
The last two do not have a do_stage. The first 7 do.
If we want to abandon legacy staging the first 7 should be fixed too (which
implies reworking the recpie and checking if it builds and installs
properly).
Alternate of course could be to remove those recipes (which could be done
minus .15 which is pinned:
conf/distro/include/preferred-om-2008-versions.inc:PREFERRED_VERSION_alsa-lib
?= "1.0.15"

As I wrote this is just an example. There seem to be 1119 files to go
