One more point about obsolescent features. In my experience, language
designers tend to have far too little appreciation of the difficulty
of modifying code to deal with incomaptibilities. I often here statements
like: well it is easy to go through the code and do xxx. The fact is that
nothing is easy when you are dealing with millions of lines of code.
Ada 95 ended up consierably more upwards compatible than it might have
been if we followed earlier suggestions, and that is definitely a good
thing!
