If they are legacy then it is correct to not list them here. You can still
use the legacy interfaces if you want (they aren't being removed) but not
being to be told about them in the help message seems correct to me.

If you think they should not be legacy then that would IMHO need to be a
different patch to remove the "# Legacy dist targets".

As it stands this patch, with the S-o-b above, is IMHO a consistent and
correct change:

Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

If you would prefer instead to mark those interfaces non-legacy then please
do so.

Ian.
