Actually, I don't consider them obsolete.  I prefer

[[ $n -gt 1 && $m == foo ]]

to the rather cluttered

(( n > 1 )) && [[ $m == foo ]]

There's no gain in us getting rid of them anyway, so declaring them
obsolete is confusing people (we've had this with similar features
there's no point in removing).
