In light of this, I have a proposal:
We fix our specs to not use autoconf, and remove the old versions as
stated, but we keep them around, perhaps in another branch in CVS or
simply removed from the F10 tag. Then we just wait for complaints. If
someone comes in and says "I was actively using that" we can just slap
it back in. After one release cycle we can flush the rest.
And we do all this work because we have nothing better to do ?
Whats the gain, again ?
The gain is we decide what to keep and what not to keep based on who
actually is willing to fight to keep it around rather than whoever feels
like complaining on devel list. Its a corollary to "its easier to
apologize than to ask permission," the people who notice the change are
a tiny and far more important subset than the people who will complain
ahead of time.
