[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]

[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
bad-packages-alist may be useful again some day, so please restore its
non-obsoleteness.
The specific issue about Semantic and Emacs 22 is no longer pertinent,
so we should set the variable's default value to nil.
However, that kind of problem could happen again some day. We hope it
won't, but few of us are perfect and none of us is precognitive. Why
not be prepared in case such problems occur again?
