Hi Stephan,
yes, no problem forwarding this. I think it's interesting for all.
I removed some items which were long time marked as deprecated only.
They are already on master, but without API CHANGE prefix.
@Michael: Maybe you could add a note "API CHANGE" to them?

Is it safe to remove items (which are marked as deprecated) from

I my case I mean: Slot (as fallout from Tor's commit a2bf98857),
SendCrashMail and UseMailUI. I did have a short look on other items like
SolarizationThreshold which are completely unused, too. Are they in that
list for the case that such config item appears in an old config file
and get's "handled"?
Generally, the .xcs data makes up part of LO's interface that external
code can interact with, and as such should remain compatible.
In practice, there is old cruft where it is so unlikely that it is used
by any external code that it should be safe to clean it up. (Similar to
some UNOIDL stuff that we got rid of.) Also, the configmgr
implementation should just ignore any .xcu data for which there is no
matching .xcs data.
If in doubt, a good compromise might be to mark things as deprecated
first, and only actually remove later. (And then, mark the relevant
commits as "API CHANGE" so we can include them in our list of
incompatible changes.)
