thanks - I've removed them from the .spec files.

Well, I messed up by neglecting to mention the slogin removal from
the 7.2 release notes but I don't plan on putting it back. Adapting
is just s/slogin/ssh/ in scripts with 100% backwards-compatibility.

If downstreams want to maintain a symlink in their scripts then that's
naturally fine though.
