Hello
In GNU emacs 24 diary-lib contained
(define-obsolete-function-alias 'make-diary-entry 'diary-make-entry "23.1")
In 25 this alias was deleted causing problems in some old code of mine.
Why do you break backward compatibility on purpose?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

After 5 years of being in the "obsolete" status, and 2 major releases,
aren't we allowed to finally delete it? If not, what is the purpose
of obsoleting functions and variables?

Well there are very few lines concerning these aliases. Given the
trouble it could cause I would leave those line in the code. But I have
no say on this.
