One such case is longlines.el -- I'd like this to not only be retained, but also be restored to non-obsolete status. This was marked obsolete in 24.4 on the basis that visual-line-mode provided a better alternative, and indeed visual-line-mode is better for wrapping lines of normal lengths; however longlines-mode is actually very valuable for editing files with lines that are so long that they cause performance problems. This is because longlines-mode converts the long lines into short lines for editing, and therefore it will give you good performance at *any* position in the file. For this reason, so-long.el has supported longlines-mode as a standard action since version 1.0. While so-long-mode is very fast to enable, it still won't cope well if you move point deep into an incredibly long line. Conversely longlines-mode is slow to enable (as it has to break all the long lines), but it then gives good performance everywhere in the buffer. As such they complement one another (and you can switch between them via the "So Long" menu). -Phil
