Are there special warning when you use obsolete things? `make-obsolete' is on a finer level, but it's safe to assume that if something is in an obsolete/ directory then everything inside should be obsoleted as well.

Loading nnimap.el loads 57. Gnus itself needs imap.el only in one place (mail-source.el) so I propose we move imap.el to Emacs and out of Gnus when and if that dependency is removed. It's a general-purpose library anyway. Ted
