In general yes, but why the new alias? What's wrong with my proposal
checking obsolescence of netrc-parse?

I try to keep it as simple as possible, and introducing a new alias for
exactly one use case, which has a planned suicide date (compatibility of
Tramp), seems too much for me.

Best regards, Michael.
