It would solve the most urgent problem (the warnings), yes, package
maintainers would be happy.
The downside of only de-obsoleting now is that in the subsequent
release, we would have to change the newly introduced foo-let* in a
backward-incompatible way for the single-binding-tuple special case.
This backward-incompatible change is necessary to make foo-let* aliases
of foo-let, which is our goal - foo-let has to support the
single-binding-tuple syntax because it supported it all the time.
We have to weigh what is worse: make the whole change now and make 26.1
introduce the new foo-let* as we want them to be, or release foo-let* as
is, with the need of a backward-incompatible change of foo-let* in 26.2
for the special case, which could then potentially break working code.
Michael.
