I have a support case open asking for guidance on this. I let them know this will break the pagination on our forum lists and on other customizations. So far, their only response was "use cursor", but I don't think that's possible. I will update here if I get any better response.
I also wonder how many customers are using offset and don't even know it.
Please let me know if you get a better response, otherwise the only solution we can think of to get page X is to cursor through to page X. So if you wanted page 100, you'd have to cursor through 100 pages before displaying the result! Which seems strange...
