Ok, sorry to sound mean.  But I think 'not in use' needs to be defined in
the rfc so we all understand it the same.  How do we decide when something
in no longer in use?  Perhaps there is no quantitative measurement and we
just have to make a judgement call.

"no known practical usage" ?
"no known use that will break anything if removed" ?
"use is so low that the the advantage of removing exceeds the advantage of
continuing to support it" ?
"there is very little use and we don't think removing it will cause a
problem" ?
