* bug#6431: 24.0.50; read-file-name-predicate is never reset

read-file-name-predicate is declared obsolete in 23.2.  But it is still
available and still used.
 
However, it is no longer bound in `read-file-name', as it was.  So if
3rd-party code ever sets it then it stays set instead of being
reinitialized by `read-file-name'.
 
The binding is missing here, in `read-file-name':
 
(let ((completion-ignore-case read-file-name-completion-ignore-case)
      (minibuffer-completing-file-name t)
      (read-file-name-predicate (or predicate 'file-exists-p)) ; MISSING
      (add-to-history nil))
 

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2010-06-14 on 3249CTO
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.4) --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/xpm/include'

It no longer seems to be used.  Closing.

It is used - by 3rd-party code.  Please restore the binding
cited in the bug report.

Changes that are incompatible with third-part code should be
documented in NEWS, not restored.

Can you suggest something for NEWS?

My suggestion is to restore the binding.  That will fix this
bug.

If you want to file a bug report about something being missing
from NEWS, please go for it.
