So, recent changes to the gnus cvs directory replaced the smiley.el
file I originally wrote (and billions of people hacked afterwords)
with a new one that is a "re-written, simplified version" of the
original.  All fine and dandy except that the simplification means
loss of functionality (the ability to toggle the smileys via a menu,
pop-up help text, etc).

So, are these old features planning on being re-introduced?

(I won't get into why someone thought a rewrite was easier than
sending me a form and asking "hey, we finally need this filled out to
get it distributed with the main emacs base".  I just want the
functionality back.)
