Can you replace the printk()'s with comments at least?

Otherwise nobody is going to remember what we were trying
to accomplish here and it will guarentee that, in fact,
support for these old things will never get removed.

At least if comments are there, someone might think to add
these things to the feature removal schedule and follow
through with it.

Thanks.
