Yes, I can see from the webrev these files are gone. The open question
is why and what is the impact, if any?
Most likely it is just project private detail moving around, but if
you don't know that for sure yet, you need to do the due diligence
investigation to find out and convince yourself (and me) that it's
indeed just implementation detail change and not something which can
have an impact on user-visible functionality.

Amanda's suggestion to cover that cleanup with the main version
upgrade CR (6788394) sounds ok to me. Don't list multiple CRs on a
file where the only change is this kind of cleanup (one example:
