Bug#427009: original bug wasn't related to doxygen, rather to an existing journal's requirement
Just a FYI, this bug originated when I used a preamble mandated by an
article submission guidelines in a journal back in 2007. I don't
remember OTOH what the journal was, but I can try digging it up, or at
least narrow it down to a small set. Doxygen had nothing to do with it,
even though I use doxygen a lot (but not its latex backend, except for
the formula generating engine...)
I agree that legacy styles shouldn't be used in new documents, but,
e.g., in such circumstances as a journal or department's outdated
guidelines, it's nice to have them working properly for compatibility.
But I can certainly understand the approach of breaking things
intentionally so that the users become aware of using outdated stuff.
Still, I'd prefer a transitional state with a warning for those users
who care about their log transcripts...
