Hi Sam, > 1. We should keep the CLtL2 and ANSI CL deprecated symbols. I agree. There are some old packages that are still useful but don't have a maintainer. It would be a disgrace to break them just because of past evolutions of the standard. > 2. We can drop our extensions: > > type-expand-1: deprecated since 2002-01-08 > foreign-address-null: deprecated since 2003-08-05 > rename-dir, make-dir, delete-dir: 2007-12-31 > socket-service-port: deprecated since 2005-11-09 A reasonable rule would be: We can remove an extension 5 years after the first release in which it became deprecated. All of the above can be removed according to this rule. > 3. We should keep wildcard (deprecated since 2011-05-17, after the last release) Yes, agree.
