@cindex Obsolete modules
Modules can be marked obsolete.  This means that the problems they fix
don't occur any more on the platforms that are reasonable porting targets
now.  @code{gnulib-tool} warns when obsolete modules are mentioned on the
command line, and by default ignores dependencies from modules to obsolete
modules.  When you pass the option @code{--with-obsolete} to
@code{gnulib-tool}, dependencies to obsolete modules will be included,
however, unless blocked through an @code{--avoid} option.  This option
is useful if your package should be portable even to very old platforms.

In order to mark a module obsolete, you need to add this to the module
description:

@example
Status:
obsolete

Notice:
This module is obsolete.
