OFW callbacks are inherently *useful* -- going on a crusade to eliminate OFW
usage on "all" machines is not the best idea.  Among other things, it's a
very important way to get bootstrap console and device enumeration support
on a machine with a new device tree layout.

With that said, your implicit assumption about how a port for NuBus machines
would be merged ("by not using OFW at all") is not quite valid.  8-)
