  | I believe that http://gnats.netbsd.org/17179 should be closed.
  | This PR is against apm(8) which no longer exists.

It does still exist, but only on a limited number of (old)
architectures which supported that interface (most commonly i386).

Its man page is still installed everywhere, which might be worth
fixing though.

All that said, it is kind of unlikely that a low priority non-critical
feature addition request from more than 23 years ago is going to get much
attention now, when nothing was even done with it, since (src/usr.sbin/apm
has been changed more recently - as recently as 2011 - so it is possible
the patch in the PR would no longer apply).
