For obsolete commands from 3rd-party packages, which state something
like "Magit 3.0" in the version since which they are obsolete, the
obsolescence will never happen, in the sense that they will _always_
appear in "M-x TAB", even 100 years from now. Is that what we want?

I'm not sure it's possible without introducing ambiguity into the
version string and complicating comparison of versions. We already
support some non-numeric versions, and that's not easy.

How can this be done, even in principle? Versions of unbundled
packages are unrelated to Emacs versions; typically, a given version
of an unbundled package supports quite a few Emacs versions. So what
Emacs version will you put there?
