The changed occurrence is 'dired-query', and the justification is to fix the bug report #42708. Also I checked other 4 occurrences of `read-char-choice' in auth-source.el, emacs-lisp/package.el, net/tramp-cmds.el and progmodes/octave.el. But apparently they use more complex logic, so replacing them with `read-char-from-minibuffer' is not a straightforward task. >> > But if `read-char-choice' can itself remain in the >> > `read-char', `read-event', `read-key', etc. camp, then at >> > least that will be good, IMO.
