You don't think Ada or Tcl is mainstream?  Just because you haven't run into 
them doesn't mean they're not widely used.

Heck, many of the GUIs you see out there are based on Tk, which is based on 
Tcl, which isn't OO.  Fire up Python's IDLE, for example, and note that it 
has a Tk logo in the corner.

To some extent it would, depending on how your OO is integrated with the 
rest of your system. OO tends to have many references to one object 
scattered about in other objects. You have to avoid that if you're going to 
incrementally upgrade code as it runs.
