Since removing code is more delicate, and to help whoever may want to investigate history in the future, please do so in a separate commit. I guess it will be better if that commit removing code goes before the general revision of the page.Okay, will do. I dithered over it because the withdrawn support is such a recent change.
While support was removed recently, it's something that was obsolete for decades, so probably there weren't many users (hopefully none).
But on the other hand it will take time for man-pages 6.02 (or what have you) to percolate out to distributors just as glibc 2.32 will.
For users of unstable distributions, we already have 6.02. It took only one week or so from the day I released it.
