I'm not a huge fan of changing userspace visible API...

Deleting this doesn't seem to gain much.
If anything I'd add this into the CT code as just one more thing it registers.

That said, I don't really have a vote here, and don't really want to
do the work...
And cleanup is really good...
OTOH, this cleanup doesn't really help much - it is pretty much
entirely self contained.

(I don't see a clean way to do maintain backward compatibility in the
userspace tool...
it's easy enough to convert to CT on load, but how do you know what to
print it out as afterwards?  Do you just print as the new format?)
