My proposal was to help them cut&paste the relevant information

Ok, my experience regarding emacs users is that only a few of
them use it for mail. I can very well be wrong on that point.
But as the subject of the thread is "determining what users use"
it could be interesting to instrument more functions than just
the obsoleted ones (mail, sub-processes, major and minor modes,
etc.).

So what about instrumenting "autoload" ? Or defining an
autoload-obsolete function ?
