As in, remove it from everyone's /dev and kernel, or stop using it for
package builds, or get rid of it from NetBSD/xen's /dev, or what?

I would argue against the first one: just because something is being
misused is not, in itself, a reason to get rid of it entirely, at least
not when it still has good extant uses.
