remove the machid commands
100%
Description
The machid family of commands are obsolete. Currently, OpenIndiana users do not have the luxury of not installing them since they're part of the SUNWcs package which includes essential stuff.
That is, remove these commands and relevant man pages from SUNWcs and make a separate package for them: sun, iAPX286, i386, pdp11, sparc, u3b, u3b2, u3b5, u3b15, vax, u370.
That may not be a complete list.

Don't do this whole "separation" thing, just delete all the useless ones. They've been noted as obsolete forever.
Make anyone who attempts to disagree with me describe the nature of each affected machine, without reference to search engines.

I'd like all of them removed, even the ones that return true on current systems, such as i386 and i486; the latter is not even mentioned in the man page.

A webrev for the removal.

Though I am unsure how to properly test if are some other mentions of these commands in the build system.

If you want to remove the machid commands you'll also need to update /etc/profile since it uses /bin/i386 to determine the default terminal type.
