 The historical reason why the old names should be kept is that they
 have been in released versions of XEmacs for a year and half (almost
 two years in beta releases).  You have stated that only v2x versions of
 emacs will be supported by Gnus from now on, but that means having to
 support XEmacs 20.4 which has point-at-bol and point-at-eol. 
Yup.  Gnus will not abandon support of the point-at-* functions, but
continue to use gnus-point-at-* aliases, which now resolves to either
point-at-* or line-*-position, depending on which of them are defined.

 I'm frustrated by the situation.  There was nothing basically
wrong
 with the old names, and they've been out there for quite awhile.  Oh
 well. 
At the time I discussed this with RMS, I didn't know that XEmacs had
already included the functions.  Mea culpa.
