Please keep in mind that Gnus wants to support older Emacs versions
and XEmacs, see (info "(gnus)Emacsen"). So please don't remove this
code.
Bye, Reiner.

I'm going to remove this code in the version of the code that I
install elsewhere in Emacs. But the functions in my version will have
different names, so the change won't affect Gnus.

Sounds like code duplication to me.
Bye, Reiner.

Yes, for the moment. Eventually we can delete the corresponding code
from mm-util.el and replace it with aliases pointing at these
functions. You could keep the old code to include in a compatibility
pack when distributing Gnus separately.
