If it indeed should be that on every system, shouldn't it be listed
in feature-removal-schedule.txt?

Does anybody have a running list of "Stuff we set by default at one time, but
no longer recommend"?  I discovered that on my laptop, I have this sucker set
to /sbin/hotplug still (which explains why I get "filesystem busy" issues at
shutdown.  Just like the TCP_BIC issue yesterday, it's something that got set
aeons ago and 'make oldconfig' has been propagating.

But to clean things up, I'd have to know what stuff needed cleaning....
