That just deletes the header.  Try to write a one liner that gives you
the exact same prior behavior.  It is not really fair to make a change
to the system that changes behavior and just tell all the users to
adapt to the change, it makes FreeBSD "user unfriendly."  If I have
to adapt to much or too often I see alternatives.
