I missed that memo completely!  What's the new scheme?
What is expected to be automatically discarded?  Where
is the presentation/discussion of such a change?  Is
it this bug thread?  (Why would it be in a bug thread?)

I hope we're not changing the longstanding arg list of
`completing-read' (except perhaps to add more args,
which might be debatable but excusable).

Let's please keep this function backward-compatible.
If you want something different, please add it as a
separate function.
