I've found the old discussion on this:
- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=60758#58
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00052.html
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00219.html
Based on my reading of this thread and those old discussions, I conclude
- it is fine to mark when-let and if-let as obsolete for Emacs 31, and
generally there's more of a consensus, and several good reasons, to do
that instead of removing if-let* and when-let*
- I'd like to go ahead and install a patch marking when-let and if-let
as obsolete, unless Michael is keen to be the one to do it as the
initiator of the previous effort
- enough people want to keep and-let*, but possibly some aspects of its
syntax should be removed
- I'm retitling the bug to reflect that.
