To me, the concern is to still be able to revive old scripts that you didn't
use since a long time. If some function has been obsoleted, it should be
easy to find what the substitute is. So maybe this obsolete package could
contain stubs, i.e. short scripts telling that some function is obsolete and
what the replacement is. Eventually, they could be arranged in such a way
that the required operation is performed by calling the updated function.
