Subject: when do we remove backward compatibility definitions?
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:04:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lztvycsow9.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hi,
Gnus has a few backward compatibility face declarations like this:
(put 'gnus-group-news-4-face 'obsolete-face "22.1")
Emacs 22.1 was released on 2007-06-02 -- over 10 years ago.
What is the policy on removing such declarations?
R releases?
M major releases?
Y years?
Where is it officially documented?
Thanks.
