That I would understand. I was not arguing about the precise command contained in misc, but the fact that having a file in lisp/ for a single command, and not a very complicated or idiosyncratic one, is weird. > The output in question is error messages, not code.

I follow the GCC list, and changes to error messages and warnings are often hot topics. > - emacs-lisp/tq.el: I don't doubt it's useful, > > If the feature is useful, then it is not obsolete. Ok. Still, I fail to grasp why you sometimes oppose adding a five-line function as "cruft", and at some other moment support maintaining a module no one is sure it's used anywhere :) > That is not a reason to call something obsolete. I haven't called (almost) anything obsolete. I've asked if some mdules where or not, and stated why I thought they perhaps were... What about unused.el? Juanma
