Indeed, but Emacs does not have a history of when functions are introduced -- we only have guesswork. Which is why it says "probably". assoc-delete-all has a convoluted history -- it was introduced in 1999, and then renamed to assq-delete-all, before being reintroduced in 2018 again. Here the guesser guesses wrong.

If the suggestion is to use ChangeLog data for this feature, then I think it won't be easy, because it isn't easy to parse the ChangeLog text for gleaning this more accurate information. For starters, we sometimes say "New function", sometimes just "New", and sometimes have lists of functions (all of which are new) with a single "New" entry. It would be better to have a DB of this data, which we would update with each major release, than to try to parse ChangeLog files, IMO.

Maybe it is better to do other work instead. There is a connection to bug#45437, which see. I agree that it is questionable to go back in time and annotate all functions with precise information when they had been added. However, I believe you should - change your development process such that, in the future, version information for functions and variables is recorded - not ignorantly closing issues such as 45437, when a couple of people spent several hours to debug a problem that takes you only 5 minutes to fix. Or how long will it take you to add one sentence to the documentation of make-temp-file? Or how many hours of other people do you want to waste by saving 5 minutes on your side? I now and then contribute to Proof General, which aims to support about 3 major emacs version. Please advise how one can develop backward compatible elisp code when the version in the function documentation is non-present, plain wrong or misleading.

I agree that the problem is not an urgent one nor a grave one, but if someone wants to work on making that part of documentation more accurate, I think gleaning the info from ChangeLog is not the best approach.
