The original motivation was to get rid of the "superpages" option when
building a pv-domU.
It's suffered rather from feature creep then, since removing that one
interface seems like much less of a problem[0] than a wholesale skewering
of bindings of entire librarier or even just cherry-picking the things no
one is using and removing those.
It's worth trying to clean up these legacy things occasionally and seeing
who complains, but when someone does complain its usually time to step back
and examine what the actual goal is and what the path to that place is.
Unless you have the stomach for helping manage a transition away from the
parts of these bindings that people are still using then I'd suggest just
leaving it alone and concentrating on the superpages thing and whether that
can be removed or what needs to happen first etc.
Ian.
[0] although we are still waiting for Konrad's reply on that one in the
relevant thread.
RIP PV superpages.
Okay, I'll do this as soon as Roger's domain builder patches are
committed.
