Whatever you wish to remove, maybe I misunderstood it, but please do not remove functionality from goto-address-mode that I can make any kinds of links in Emacs buffers: man:man is link here. I can open it as C-c RET and such links may be automatically generated in my hyperlinking system, including many other links. URL schemes are standard, you do not just delete it because you do not know how why on Earth would somebody use it.
