One thing maybe worth pointing out that the 2D panel code is not only
used for panels, but also for some pre-canvas glass cockpits.
Essentially, a 2D panel is defined in XML, and then rendered onto a 3D
surface, so removing the 2D panel code would not just remove, well, 2D
panels, but it would also break aircraft models that use this technique
(off the top of my head, at least CRJ700 and some of the Citations).
