Only people who want to log-in from the network..... Of course you could force a re-write of all the stuff like telnet, adding another layer of bugs that'll take another N years to find and remove.
I think you really need to leave the "legacy" stuff alone. Somebody installs a new kernel and then can't log in from the Network. Not good at all.
