Perhaps we could all collaborate on collecting old .mh_profiles (maybe
also mhl.replys etc.?), piping 'em all through "sort -u" and looking to
see what was obsolete, then adding a check-mh-upgrade script which flags
obsolete stuff and gets invoked whenever the user's .mh_profile has a
missing or obsolete "mh-version: 1.7" line?
Weeellll ... a lot of the stuff is in mh-format files, which would be
hard to write an external parser for. And while a check-mh-upgrade
script might not be a bad idea, the problems I see are a) figuring out
how to let people know it exists, and b) getting people to run it.
Those two problems make me not want to spend my time writing it. But
if someone else wants to write it, please do so!
