fill-paragraph-semlf is a command.  Removing it means that there will
be no way for users to fill a paragraph interactively using semantic
linefeeds.  How much time will pass, do you think, before someone asks
for such a command?

The changes in this patch allow you to make fill-paragraph-semlf a
very thin wrapper around fill-paragraph, but that is still many times
more convenient than asking users to assign obscure values to obscure
variables.

So I suggest to leave the command, just reimplement it using
fill-region-as-paragraph-function.
