Severity: wishlist

The w3 package was removed from GNU ELPA in 2020 as it doesn't run on
a recent Emacs, and development had stopped over a decade before that.

If anyone wants to revive the w3 package, they should look this all
over, but it doesn't make sense for us to maintain this support code.
