Agreed - with the expect of stuff which is used in tree or forms part of a logical exported API we should just throw them out without messing. The only exceptions I can see that make sense are - Where a subsystem maintainer says not to - Where we know that a commonly used out of tree module needs it Most of the excess symbols should thus just go away. Its pretty unlikely that they are being used.
