Why are these "not relevant"? In my experience they are mostly
used in scripts and Makefiles, to ensure that the right code path
is taken. Won't removing them break older configure-style scripts,
i.e. ones that test things like "if [ ! vax ]" etc.?
Is the gain of removal worth more than potential breakage of
older (especially FOSS) code?
