Between 1 and 2% of paying customers used Classic at least once in December 2016.
I would estimate that the overhead in terms of code complexity to keep classic running is at about 20% of all new development, but worse, it holds us back from making other technical moves like changing out Apache mod_perl (which is very unmaintained these days) for a newer, more efficient and debuggable web server engine. It's very hard to quantify the cost of those technical roadblocks.
