More specifically, there are about 14 methods doing a string comparison
on the classname to check for obsolete classes, and 11 methods which use
isObsolete.
Is there a reason to _not_ use isObsolete? I'd rather guess it should be
more reliable than stringcomparison, just think about " ... why is this
class named ObsoleteSomething? Icalled it just Somthing before ... well,
I'll just rename it back ..." and textbased tests won't work anymore.
Thanks,
Ingo
