Okay, I'll do it for gifconfig(8).
Current prefix(8) does that by replacing it with a wrapper script
since 11 months ago.

After RELENG_4 is unfrozen, it would probably be a good idea to modify
these utilities to warn of their obsolesence when run to try and get
people to switch now.

Hi,

I committed to don't install prefix(8) and gifconfig(8).  ifconfig(8)
has the facilities provided by these commands.  Please use
ifconfig(8).

gifconfig -> ifconfig tunnel/deletetunnel
prefix-> ifconfig eui64

I'll do cvs remove after a mean time.
I have no plan to MFC this due to backward compatibility issue.

Sincerely,
