I have asked the same question a long time ago when we pruned a bunch of
other obsolete emulations. From a security stand point, I fully agree

Agree with gdt@ on protocol and with joerg@ and maxv@ on security.
Removal from GENERIC, but not src yet, sounds good to me, especially
if COMPAT_FREEBSD can be invoked from userland without privileges.
