    1) What additional benefits do we get from "annoying" users with the
       proposed "usage polls", compared to the simple scheme above?

There are cases where we have simply removed a feature rather than
just putting a file into the `obsolete' subdirectory.  I am not
thinking of using this for just moving something into the `obsolete'
subdirectory.
