There is likely to be user code that still refers to this. 19.23 allout-old-expose-topic Since that is just part of allout, it is rather specialized; please delete it. 19.34 post-command-idle-hook post-command-idle-delay Some Emacs packages still use these, so we should leave them alone for now. I will add something to TODO to get convert the places that use this, after the release. 20.1 define-function truncate-string Those were rather specialized, and existed as non-obsolete for a short enough time, so pleae delete them. 20.3 chars-in-region update-iso-coding-systems coding-system-parent Those are rather obscure Mule things, so please get rid of them. 20.4 sref That was a rather obscure Mule thing, so please get rid of it.
