Well, if we decided something at one point, we can decide something else
now.

The question is whether it makes sense to spend time trying to fix
something that's not being used.  Keeping unexec around in a broken
state isn't very satisfying, and worries about unexec is what's stalling
the removal of pure space, too.

So at this point I think I'd rather just remove unexec now instead of
waiting until Emacs 29.
