- Latest Ubuntu LTS 14.04 supports SDL2 (since 13.10).
- Latest Debian Stable doesn't support SDL2, Testing does.
- OpenSUSE seems to have supported SDL2 since 12.2.
- Fedora supported SDL2 at least since v19.
- Arch supports SDL2.
It's also available for Windows, but based on comments on this
thread OSX may have issues still.

Next Debian stable should come out next year and OSX issues should
be handled by that time too, so a year could be enough.
Dropping support for SDL1 would allow dropping quite a bit of
code for handling resolutions & scaling̣. Removing the code
for fine-grained checking of whether emulated code has updated
the screen would also simplify things.

Nice idea!
