> (make-obsolete 'mouse-major-mode-menu 'mouse-menu-major-mode-map "23.1")
> That is incorrect.

The argument to make-obsolete is not intended to say "foobar is
a drop-in-replacement for barbaz", just that "barbaz has been found
undesirable, its successor is foobar".  Often one needs to adjust things
if one wants to switch to the new non-obsolete alternative.
