This is not true for me. Of the two Ebola warnings I remember
seeing
in the last 6 months, the one in AUC-TeX is due to use of
`previous-char' instead of `char-before' (a distant cousin of Ebola),
I thought the consensus on replacement of `previous-char' with
`char-before' was to _not_ do it, since `previous-char' isn't
broken any more.

I'm sorry, that was a typo on my part. The function in question is
`preceding-char' not `previous-char'.

I missed that discussion so I have no comment; I do know that
preceding-char is still (as of 21.0-beta63) marked as obsolete, and
that it returns the integer zero when (bobp), which is what triggers
the Ebola warning.

Correct, s/previous-char/preceding-char/.
