If you know that the WORM writers in question are no longer supported,
then you should remove them.
However, if it's because many more WORM devices are now supported using
a new mechanism then replacing it with text like
FreeBSD does not need a special device to support WORM writers
anymore. The old "worm?" device has been superceded by the new
"cd?" device, which includes that functionality as standard.
See cd(4) for more details.
Edit that as necessary, depending on the fine details of the implementation.
