Perhaps make a bit more noise about their obsolescence for a bit and then
drop all support for them, in the meantime, parse them, spit out a
warning, rather than falling over, and ignore them.
That's my 5c worth. I'll be sure to distribute an updated version of
/etc/ra.conf in the next spin of the Debian package that I release.
