Also, the changes are more incompatible than they need to be. For example, in Emacs 24.4 there is a user option vc-cvs-stay-local. In master, it was deleted in favour of vc-stay-local.
Looking at the commit that made this (185320a5), I see no reason for there to be vc-stay-local. Quite the opposite, the commit message says:
"The CVS back end retaiin this machibery and the vc-stay-local configuration variable now only affects it."
Why don't we remove vc-stay-local instead, and keep the appropriately named vc-cvs-stay-local?
Do we expect vc-stay-local to have been a lot more popular to customize? Then indeed it can become an alias.
Probably there are other such cases, as well as cases where setting advertised-calling-convention rather than simply deleting function arguments would help.
If you could point out the specific ones, that would be helpful.
