I guess one could, but that would seem like making use of the
marked-obsolete functionality in a roundabout way, and I'd guess that if
it were eventually deprecated and removed, that would stop working, too
(which one could work around by importing all of the old code, but it
would be simpler to not obsolete it in the first place).

who will one day be marked obsolete,
but whose time has not yet come,
either. ;)
