bug#34390: package.el says "Obsolete" when it means "No Longer Used"

[Phillip Lord]

Currently package.el reports packages as "Obsolete" when this is
probably not a good choice of word, as it is being interpreted as "no
longer in active development".

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2019-02/msg00070.html

It happens when several versions of a package are installed. Consider
this report from M-x package-list-packages

  dash               2.12.0        obsolete              A modern list library 
for Emacs
  eglot              1.4           incompat   gnu        Client for Language 
Server Protocol (LSP) servers
  kiwix              0.4.0         incompat   melpa-s... Kiwix interface and 
support.


Dash is showing here are obsolete because in my installation 2.15.0 is 
installed.


  company            0.9.9         dependency            Modular text 
completion framework
  dash               2.15.0        dependency            A modern list library 
for Emacs
  dash-functional    2.15.0        dependency            Collection of useful 
combinators for Emacs Lisp
  direnv             1.4.0         dependency            direnv support for 
emacs


The problem is "obsolete" line appears quite some distance away from
other line which shows dash is installed.

I would suggested "installed but outdated" perhaps. Or "More Recent
Version Installed". Both a bit long.
