options to retire?

Looking in the source code, there are several deprecated/obsolescent
options slated for removal that are still present:

du -m: FIXME: remove in 2005
stat --link: FIXME: remove in 2003
tail --allow-missing: FIXME: remove in 2005; use --retry instead

There are a few other options marked obsolescent, but without a timeline
for removal (such as df --kilobytes, od -F, etc.)

Is it time to prune some of these before the next stable release, since it
is near the end of 2005?
