I'm no fan either, but I think we don't want to inconvenience users if
we just obsoleted some package. Really old stuff should be removed, as
you suggest:

and in fact Glenn has done it already (rnews.el, rnewspost.el,
x-menu.el, sc.el, for example).
Of the remaining, awk-mode, fast-lock, iso-acc, iso-insert, iso-swed,
keyswap, lazy-lock, options, scribe and swedish were all obsoleted in
22.1, released on 2007-06-02. That's four years and five releases ago.

Well, I just found a minor bug with handling of C-u M-x
emacs-lock-mode, and I've fixed it in my copy. :-)

OK.

Yes, sure, and ChangeLog entries. I just didn't wanna write them
before knowing whether the package will be accepted ;-)

Done.

That's puzzling. In most docstrings I've seen, the first line uses
imperative, but the rest no. In fact, there are > 650 uses of
"Returns" in lisp/**/*.el.
But fixed anyway.
Thanks for you comments.
