Subject: 25.0.50; incompatible change to `make-obsolete' - added 3rd arg
 should be optional
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:14:28 -0800 (PST)

This change, made long ago unfortunately, is incompatible.  Previous to
the change, `make-obsolete' accepted only 2 args.  It should still be
possible to use the function with only 2 args, as well as with 3.

This was presumably a careless oversight, and not intended as part of
the change to adding parameter WHEN.  The doc string in fact indicates
that this was not intended:

  If provided, WHEN should be a string indicating when the function
  ^^^^^^^^^^^
  was first made obsolete, for example a date or a release number.
