This is not what "obsolete" means and is about, so let's not abuse it
for this purpose.

I'm okay with introducing some new special attribute for such cases,
i.e. when the use of a function or a variable is discouraged for
whatever reasons, so that the byte-compiler could warn about that.
Just let's not called them "obsolete", because they aren't.
