That's an incorrect assumption - xhost +username has always worked the
same and only supported Secure RPC authentication, which is the one place
in the man page where it's fully described as working.

If someone could figure out how to reword the man page to make that clearer,
I'd love to see the patch, but just removing it and pretending it doesn't
work for Secure RPC users is the wrong answer.
