Does this mean we should remove the rest of the compatibility stuff
in other scripts? As you say, the NetBSD folks don't seem interested
in our changes. We originally had that compatibility stuff because
we expected to iron them out with NetBSD, but it's been a full year
since we did this and several attempts to get the NetBSD folks interested
have failed. Plus, it just makes the affected scripts more cluttered
and confusing. So, I think we should just bite the bullet and announce
on -arch that we're going to do it sometime before 5.3.
What do you think?

Cheers.
