The 'remove' from that TODO is more than just removing the code.
There's also an implicit 'replace it with something else'. The
work to do this is still ongoing (see some of my latest patches).
NAK for all 3 of these patches right now.

The patches themselves looked structurally good. For your commit
message next time, explain why the code was being changed, not
just what was changed.

Thanks,
Laura
