   The question is: how old are these problems with enriched-mode ?

They were present in 20.7.  In current CVS, the worst of the problems,
the fact that hard newlines failed to work, has been fixed already by
making `use-hard-newlines' a permanent local.  The fact that nobody
apparently complained about this probably means that currently people
only use Enriched mode to add some color and fontification to their text
and save it to file.  People who use it this way may actually consider
lack of hard newlines a _good_ thing.  I believe that the new _minor_
mode should not enable hard newlines by default.  Of course, the new
_major_ mode should.

Sincerely,
