I'm not sure that you've followed the whole thread.
I can never follow the whole of such a thread. I don't have time!
The feature of being
able
to display help messages and GUD variable values in the echo area has *not*
been removed. On the other hand, the variable tooltip-use-echo-area has
been
made obsolete because it involves an ugly hack that intertwines the code in
tooltip.el and gud.el.
I must be confused. If that feature exists, doesn't tooltip-use-echo-area
control whether to enable it?
