 That would be fine.  I don't really care as long as it's deprecated.
 
 FWIW, only users who don't update /etc/defaults/rc.conf or who manually
 set gif_interfaces="NO" would be effected so the size of the set of
 effected users is probalby close to epilon and even all that will happen
 is cloning an extra interface and then not configuring it so it should
 be basicly harmless to just remove direct support for it.
