Along the same lines, I'm thinking that ipac should be removed. It only
works with ipchains, so it isn't useful with any kernel from the last
few years. (I don't use it myself.)
I think we still have some platforms that require 2.2 (some 68k
variants, one Sparc?); are those likely to be used as gateways requiring
firewalling and/or accounting?
