Sure, this is all a judgement call. I don't think it's particularly
likely that many people are relying on those macros, though, and if
they are, they will mostly likely find out that they're gone when they
try to compile, rather than from reading the release notes. Likewise,
I feel that the new list iteration macros are both optional and minor,
so there's not really a reason to tell people about them. But opinions
will vary, and that's fine. I just mentioned my opinion since you
seemed to be asking. :-)
