Hi,

In Elisp manual, "17.4 Dynamic Loading of Individual Functions"
describes `byte-compile-dynamic' variable.

However, according to the docstring, this variable is no longer useful

    byte-compile-dynamic is a variable defined in bytecomp.el.
    
    This variable is obsolete since 27.1; not worthwhile any more.
    
    Value
    nil

It looks like the corresponding section of the manual is now obsolete
and should probably be removed.

In GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 30, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
 3.24.38, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2023-10-28 built on localhost

The manual says:

       _Experience shows that using dynamic function loading provides
    benefits that are hardly measurable, so this feature is deprecated
    since Emacs 27.1._

Stefan M, any comments here?  Is it time to actually mark this stuff
obsolete?

Nothing specific, no.

Hmm... isn't it marked obsolete already?
Or did you mean to ask if it's time to throw away the corresponding code?

You're right.  Not sure how I missed that...

I guess then the only question is if it's worth keeping it in the manual.
