Your original suggestion of "as of" seems better:
"FOO is an obsolete function (as of Emacs 21.4)"
Seems simple, correct, very clear, and is just about the smallest
change you could make.
I think it's good enough that I've gone ahead and and changed it; if
people want to continue arguing, I just give up.
