For the un-informed public (read journalists, m$-evangelists, etc),
putting such a feature into emacs could be used to bad-mouth the
GNU project for installing "SPY-ware" on the users' systems.
It isn't spyware, and it obviously isn't spyware. A few people
might get confused, but others would straighten them out.
Consider a user who finds a feature that we have marked obsolete and
decides to try it out ... SURPRISE, he's asked whether he wants to
send mail to the emacs team about actively using this feature ...
He will read the message, and decide whether he wants to send it.
If he isn't really using the feature, he won't send the message.
