I think I agree. Eli also has a point when he says that we might as well just leave the support in. How about saying in the URL manual that the info: and man: schemes as deprecated, so people at least won't try to use them in new code? That is a small change, but will also potentially make the transition to something new and improved a tiny bit easier. It'll also discourage anyone from attempting to re-implement it in the new library.
