The thing is that the version where it was made past tense really isn't that important, but people seem to be focusing on it. I think David's suggestion of "as of" is good, though I think better as a simple replacement for "since" than at the front: FOO is an obsolete function (as of 21.4) [Maybe it really ought to say "emacs version 21.4" but I assume it's also good to keep the message short so it doesn't wrap.] -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
