Subject: obsolete/dead show_remote_version()?

There is some code in cmd_upgrade.c, function do_show_version(), that
calls a function show_remote_version(argv[0]) that is called when
"system version" is followed by a word (or words) that is not
"-s".  The word in question is passed to this function.

This seems to be obsolete, dead, undocumented code.  Does anybody use
this undocumented (I think it's undocumented) command?  Does it even
work in some way?  I'm inclined to remove it since it doesn't seem to be
supported by the autocompletion/help and is inclined to give confusing
error message if you mistype the "-s" or have trailing garbage after
the "system version" command.  God forbid a user type something that
caused the command to hang waiting for an nfs mount that never happened
or happened very slowly, like only after a 2-3 minute DNS timeout.
