My first reaction was to say no, don't retire working code.  And I think 
some people use *add-editor*, even though it's fairly unworkable for me 
personally.  My second thought was to realize that there could be a change 
to a future version of Qt that makes the code stop working.  Who is going 
to want to maintain that? So now I lean towards removing it.  Is there a 
way the removal can be scheduled for a future release, and a deprecation 
warning given in the meantime?

I wonder if leoJS has the *add-editor* command working.  I imagine that it 
would not be hard to recreate Freewin in leoJS, and I think it would be 
worth doing once the plugin  mechanism is working.
