But, what is really the point of removing two extremely short routines like
OSVFreeTimer and OSVRegisterTimer? Both of them are not greater than 100
bytes in total! And they have no any influence to speed of TIOS in general!
I expect ADDING new features in future version of AMS or CORRECTING or
IMPROVING existing ones, not REMOVING existing ones, especially if they are
short and if their removing does not lead to any improvement in general!!!
