Are these getting in the way of current work?  We have shims in place to
make at least IPX operate correctly without explicit locking.  Saying
that they are old and not used by people who read arch@ isn't a
compelling argument to remove them.  If they are getting in the way of
current work, then it would be much friendlier to ask for help rather
than summarily announcing their doom.
