Hi Paul,
I noticed that when updating the docs for POSIX 2024 you improved the
documentation for removals from POSIX [1]. Like this:

@section @code{bcmp}
@findex bcmp
-POSIX specification:
@url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/bcmp.html}
+Removed in POSIX.1-2008.
+POSIX.1-2004 specification:
@url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/bcmp.html}
I've committed this patch doing the same for the rest of the files in
doc/pastposix-functions/*.texi since I think it is helpful.
Are POSIX functions always removed the following release that they are
marked obsolete? Or can obsolete functions be kept for multiple
versions?
