My impression was that whenever a function was renamed, it was standard
procedure to keep the old name as an alias and mark it obsolete, to only
be removed at some time in the future?

(define-obsolete-function-alias 'set-temporary-overlay-map
'set-transient-map "24.4")

?

set-temporary-overlay-map was introduced in 24.3 so I think this is the
right thing to do.
