*** Deprecations planned for next release.
After Emacs 29.1, some aspects of EUDC will be deprecated. The goal
of these deprecations is to simplify EUDC server configuration by
making 'eudc-server-hotlist' the only place to add servers. There
will not be a need to set the server using the 'eudc-set-server'
function. Instead, the 'eudc-server-hotlist' variable should be
customized to have an entry for the server. The plan is to obsolete
the 'eudc-hotlist' editor since Customize is sufficient for changing
'eudc-server-hotlist'. How the 'eudc-server' variable works in this
context is to-be-determined; it can't be removed, because that would
break compatibility, but it may become synchronized with
'eudc-server-hotlist' so that 'eudc-server' is always equal to (first
eudc-server-hotlist). The first entry in 'eudc-server-hotlist' is the
first server tried by 'eudc-expand-try-all'. The hotlist
simplification will allow 'eudc-query-form' to show a drop down of
possible servers, instead of requiring a call to 'eudc-set-server'
like it does in this release. The default value of
'eudc-ignore-options-file' will be changed from nil to t.
