The precise proposal would say also that -traditional-cpp could only be
used when not compiling, or at least might no longer work (even to the
extent it did) with programs including standard headers because some
predefines would be missing, so specs might be a more appropriate place to
warn.

Even including a warning that -traditional is deprecated in the compiler
or the release notes would probably require SC approval, and not really be
doable in time for 3.0. Patchlevel releases can be used for feature
deprecation (2.95.1 was for some G++ extension).
