Thank you!

Several problems I noticed:

1) `hangul-input-method-inactivate', `quail-inactivate',
`robin-inactivate' and `ucs-input-inactivate' are all interactive
functions (= commands), but you still just rename them without any
deprecation (cf. `define-obsolete-function-alias').

2) You only use `make-obsolete-variable' to mark user variables obsolete
(and retain both the original and the new defcustoms), which will
produce compiler warnings for the old variable, but doesn't provide any
clear connection between the two. It would be better to use
`define-obsolete-variable-alias' (which presumably also prevents other
problems, see its docstring) and only use `defcustom' for the new
variable(s).

3) The new or changed `defcustoms' should get a :version tag.
