Will longlines-mode be marked obsolete in Emacs 23.2 and removed in
Emacs 24?
Warnings could be printed in Emacs 23.2 when `turn-on-longlines-mode'
is called, and Emacs 24 could automatically enable `visual-line-mode'
in its place. It is not perfectly compatible, of course, but it
probably DTRT for the vast majority of users, while the few others can
probably be trusted to install longlines manually as an add-on.

I've been meaning to do that, but first I'd like to implement the
"specify a wrap column other than the right window edge" feature. I've
been too busy to work on this, though.

I am currently changing the margins to do something like that, but
that is a bit shaky. See wrap-to-fill.el:

FWIW, Kim's original patch did have this feature.
