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.
