What I should have written was
I also don't see w3m as making lynx obselete:
* lynx is in base; w3m isn't
* lynx doesn't load images, so malicious images (e.g., ones containing
  buffer-overflow exploits for some image library) won't affect it;
  w3m has options to support displaying inline images when run from
      an xterm
