 Given smilies are pretty much deprecated, and the (default on) option to
 turn :-) into smily is barely used by anyone, we should consider removing
 it (strongly related #5161). We have a filter for turning that off if
 users really want to use this. This along with #5161 would remove an
 entire section of barely used options from the admin, simplifying the
 settings and following core philosophy of decisions not options

 Does anyone have an objection to this?
