How about documenting the things those people want to use? I, for one,
need defadvice (in CC Mode), and the message coming out is that the
upcoming Emacs might not be an optimal development platform the way the
current Emacs is.
Also, how are we encouraging people to convert defadvice to the new
replacement functions if they can't easily access the former's
documentation?
