Comment (by arma):

 For more context, it looks like that sentence went into control-spec in
 commit {{{c402bdfe}}} in Feb 2012.

 It looks like SAFECOOKIE went in during 0.2.2.x and 0.2.3.x, which is a
 long time ago now.

 Re timeframe, Nick said on #5185: "Removing it before 0.2.4.x-rc, yes"

 I think removing it any time now is a fine plan.
