In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Thu Jun  2 1994 on norval.clark.net (i386-gateway-bsd386)

I picked up the patches to convert my 19.25 sources to 19.26 and
noticed that one of the first things the patch does is delete the
gosmacs.el file.  I use this, and was wondering why this got deleted.
There is no mention of it as a user visible change in the NEWS file,
even though the sections in the manual about it are removed.

Why was this file deleted?  It seems to me bad form to remove
functionality from Emacs, especially things that have been in it since
version 18 or earlier.  It surely can't be because the distribution is
getting too large (there are a lot of useless files in it that could
be removed).

I suppose I'll just have to keep a copy of it in my site-lisp
directory for now...
