I don't have any Emacs 29 build, but someone brought this to my
attention.

Here:

https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS.29#L3471

I see this, at line 3488:

** Some functions and variables obsolete since Emacs 24 have been
removed:

And under that I see listed `query-replace-interactive'.

I don't see that as having been declared obsolete since Emacs 24.  It's
not even declared obsolete in Emacs 28 AFAICT, and that's the latest
release.  Are we now removing stuff that hasn't even been previously
(let alone long ago) deprecated?  Or is this a typo?  What's the status
of this variable (and perhaps the other functions and vars in the list)?

In Emacs 28.2, "C-h v query-replace-interactive RET" says, inter alia:

    This variable is obsolete since 24.3;
    use `M-n' to pull the last incremental search string
  to the minibuffer that reads the string to replace, or invoke replacements
  from Isearch by using a key sequence like `C-s C-s M-%'.

And replace.el from Emacs 24.3 has this:

  (make-obsolete-variable 'query-replace-interactive
			  "use `M-n' to pull the last incremental search string
  to the minibuffer that reads the string to replace, or invoke replacements
  from Isearch by using a key sequence like `C-s C-s M-%'." "24.3")

Finally, the file NEWS.24 has this:

  ** The following functions and variables are obsolete:
  *** 'automount-dir-prefix' (use 'directory-abbrev-alist')
  *** 'buffer-has-markers-at'
  *** 'macro-declaration-function' (use 'macro-declarations-alist')
  *** 'window-system-version' (provides no useful information)
  *** 'dired-pop-to-buffer' (use 'dired-mark-pop-up')
  *** 'query-replace-interactive'  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
  *** 'font-list-limit' (has had no effect since Emacs < 23)

Thx.  Apologies.  Dunno how I saw something different.
Closing.
