If it wasn't clear, consider a library that is perfectly
usable in Emacs 25 but also in older Emacs versions that
require the `*'. That library _should_ continue to use
the `*'. Emacs 25 and later should tolerate it: remove
it from the output, knowing that older code will have it.
It is narrow-minded to think that just because the latest
distributed Emacs code no longer needs something no other
Emacs code needs it.
