*Isn't there a standard practice for making a snippet shown as deprecated?*

Never heard of.

No I don't. No answer up to now.

Yes I do.

Already done and I will, thanks (see my "step-by-step procedure" at the end
of my respond for details).

I don't.

Now for those remarks and questions :

they compile.*

should just take them from Documentation/snippets/new (if they required
changes more than running convert-ly).*

+1 :)

Here's what I'll do :

1) Within few days, probably this week-end, I'll send you a "step-by-step
procedure" of what and how I'm doing.
What I can tell you now is that I finally choose to update each snippet
manually.
Reason is that the number of problematic snippets is not that high and I
definitly think that it would be more accurate.

2) because of this manual choice, I'll send you questions from time to time.

3) In any case, at the end of my work, I'll send you 3 lists :
- List of snippets that should be deleted
- List of snippet that have major modification
- List of snippet that should be upgraded

Now for the other remarks, at this point, I'm not sure to know what to
anwer...

Thank you all,
Pierre
