If Emacs has useless and confusing features that consume documentation space and
implementation resources, that is a net harm to current and future users.
Omitting such features is therefore a net gain to users. The benefit to users by
omitting useless and confusing features is worth the maintenance cost to us of
obsoleting these features.
That being said, it appears I haven't convinced you to obsolete memory-limit, so
I installed patch 1 but not patch 2 and am closing the bug report.
