I'm not sure I understand enough of this to make an informed decision.
Are you saying they serve no practical purpose ever on current systems?

These are the entries that route all traffic to any of our own addresses
over lo0, right?  Like the bottom four here?

des@hive ~% netstat -4rn | grep -w lo0
127.0.0.1          link#2             UH          lo0
192.168.144.15     link#1             UHS         lo0
192.168.144.16     link#1             UHS         lo0
192.168.144.19     link#1             UHS         lo0
192.168.144.30     link#1             UHS         lo0

I'm going to try a kernel with that code #ifdefed out...
