I agree, there is nothing unhealthy about LNKLSTxx. 
Try to avoid making HC sending so much 
informational/advisory/recommandational/etc. stuff, that nobody pays attention 
anymore.

A health check would be overkill not worth the blood, sweat, and tears. Just 
cite the need for PROGxx in the new function description. Good enough. Focus on 
higher value.

We're unlikely ever to get rid of LNKLSTxx fully (for the most part, the 
support is just there and does no harm and requires no updates).

We "could" write a health check, but that would have to follow or accompany a 
"recommendation", and might not be worth the effort.

If you're not utilizing the dynamic capabilities, for most cases, there is no 
benefit to moving from LNKLSTxx to PROGxx (other then prettier syntax).
The new function I'm looking into will be the first such case that comes to 
mind where it will be beneficial. So there will be an incentive for those 
wanting the new function.
