Perhaps, we add a warning msg, for people that are still using it for a few releases warning that it is deprecated, before dropping it. Also, let's add the 'dyndbg=' syntax to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. A previous version had a build-time error if a module used 'dyndbg' as a module param - why did that get dropped?
