Hi David,
I'd prefer to wait for the release after 1.7.
There's always one! :-)
I use mhn to get different behaviour from mhshow without a separate
profile. I could adapt to the loss, of course, but others might be
still using it, too. I think it should be removed at the beginning of
a cycle, with proper notification in NEWS.
OK. I'm hoping we'll be pushing out releases at under a year between
them so it's not long to wait after 18+ years. Looking at NEWS, I
wonder if the
NEW FEATURES
OBSOLETE FEATURES -- what has been axed this time
DEPRECATED FEATURES -- what will die in a future release
BUG FIXES
NOTABLE CHANGES
order should be jiggled a bit. I don't know how many read past the
interesting "new features" bit. As it's probably brief, perhaps
"deprecated features" could be first, headed by a warning saying notice
is hereby given. Or else a warning and pointer to the later section
given in the introduction.
I wonder if there's anything listed as deprecated in NEWS for 1.6 and
earlier that remains to be axed for 1.7. A few spot checks suggests
lots of them were done just after 1.6's release.

Cheers, Ralph.
