Fully, agreed. That's why the old form was made obsolete back in 2009,
so it can now be removed non-prematurely and without sowing chaos ;-)

PS: Here's what the NEWS says about it:
** The WHEN argument of 'make-obsolete' and related functions is mandatory.
The use of those functions without a WHEN argument was marked obsolete
back in Emacs 23.1. The affected functions are: 'make-obsolete',
'define-obsolete-function-alias', 'make-obsolete-variable',
'define-obsolete-variable-alias'.
