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.
