Users are unlikely to notice that this file exists. With that name, they won't even see it in directory listings. Unless you can design something to call their attention to it strongly, it may as well not exist. In addition to what I said in my previous message, we could have a menu item under "Help" for visiting the file and one for listing all obsolete features. C-h o is undefined and "o" being the first letter of obsolete, we could bind it to a command for visiting the file (the same as the one invoked by the menu item), while C-h O could list all obsolete features.
