You can't deprecate stuff visible to userspace, sorry Thomas, we just can't do it.
You can migrate people to "better" interfaces, but you can't pull the rug out from anyone once things like this are visible to userspace. It's permanently there, and we have to live with that.
Is there some way of marking it so that newer architectures that come on don't wind up with that export? That way at least as newer machines and arches come out, they don't have to carry the oldest baggage. As the oldest architectures eventually get dropped, cruft can be removed.
