I think you mean "superseded", not "replaced": remember.el is still in
Emacs bazaar. Yes, I'm aware of it, but presumably as long as remember.el
is still included with Emacs it's acceptable to fix bugs in it? And since
org-capture is not, as far as I know, based on remember, there is no reason
to suspect that bugs in remember will be mirrored in org-capture?
