Why not? You're making a big, big deal of a small warning that just
tells the user to rename a file.
And, why are you not pissed off by "emacs --unibyte", for example?

Why should they not? By your reasoning, we should deprecate things,
but *never* remove them, because, why should we force users to change
anything? Well, if they are really that interested in keeping _emacs,
they can stay with Emacs 23.

We're warning them that in a not-so-distant future they will find
their _emacs no longer working.

I fail to understand your reasoning here, sorry.

You have already lectured us on your interpretation for the word
"warning". I still disagree.

Please! Are you really unable to talk about these matters without
being patronizing?
