Where do you have this idea from?  The manual page did not mention
anything about the features obsoleteness only affecting packages.  The
information I found indicated that the feature itself was obsolete,
and this is the reason I dropped it.

I do not have any strong opinions either way, but believe that a
feature that is flagged obsolete should eventually be removed.
Flagging a feature as obsolete for 10 years seemed enough warning time
to me, and that is the background for me removing the code.

Happy hacking,
