Yeah, it sat there for years because MattyT promised us Custom
Resolutions "really soon now" and then didn't deliver, and it was all
supposed to go away with custom resolutions.
I think the best way to do this is fix it for new installs, and let
people with existing installs remove it manually once we have a
resolutions editor (which we may already have? resolutions are actually
stored in a table now as of 2.20, instead of being enums)
