If it's obsoleted, why is it still a part of CORE EXT (6.2.2530)?

Shouldn't it be a part of CORE "OBS" ... ?

If it's _truly_ obsoleted, why does A.6.1.2033 say POSTPONE only
replaces   MOST   of the functionality of COMPILE and [COMPILE]?

Wouldn't POSTPONE need to replace  ALL  the functionality to
obsolete [COMPILE]?

A.6.1.2033 only states "... [COMPILE] has been moved in favor of
POSTPONE".  That doesn't say it's obsolete.  Why the word "moved"
is misused is a mystery, unless it originally said "removed".

ANS 94 had section D.6.7 on "Immediacy" which demonstrates *three*
situations where COMPILE and [COMPILE] can't be replaced
completely by use of POSTPONE.  Two are in the body and one is at
the end.  However, it only demonstrates a solution for only one of
the situations.  I.e., there seems to still be two situations
which need [COMPILE].
