I'm sorry to see some of the math functions go. 

I believe that the rationale for cleaning up mathlib was that newer C
libraries offer so many functions it would hurt size and portability to
include them all, and it would be a matter of principle to stick to the
set of functions available in C89. But now it seems that even good old
atan2() is being moved into LUA_COMPAT_MATHLIB.

Is the inclusion/exclusion of the various functions still open for
discussion?
