This email is the formal request to do so.okay, done.To make it clear: despite the presence of symcompat versions, there is no justification to remove the implementation. Default version for symbols might be removed, but the implementation shall be left alone.Thank you.however, unless i removed more than i intended, none of this code works since it relies on keyserv (which was removed months ago), so it's basically dead code.It depends on what user might do with its system. Also, unless I mis-remember, the removal caused issues for linking xserver, am I right?
Yep, but a) upstream drop this code in xservers more than a year ago but it still not packed as new release b) I've already disable secure-rpc option in ports which handles this dead code.
This is how we handle all other cases of obsoleted interfaces, gets() being the exemplary case.this is a little different from gets, since gets still worked even after the public interface was removed.The definition of 'worked' might vary.
