The entry in subr.el suggested it was obsoleted in Emacs 19.32:
> (make-obsolete 'unfocus-frame "it does nothing." "19.32")
However, looking through the ChangeLogs, it looks like you are right.
On a related note, I see Juanma has obsoleted functions in subr.el without
a timestamp:
(define-obsolete-function-alias 'window-dot 'window-point)
...
I presume that should be:
(define-obsolete-function-alias 'window-dot 'window-point "22.1")
...
to make it easier to know when obsoletion really took place.
