Yes. So we removed it:

ChangeLog (both 4.4 and 4.5)
2010-03-06  Ethan A Merritt  <merritt@u.washington.edu>
  * src/util.c configure.in config/config.cyg config/config.dj2
  config/config.mgw config/config.ntconfig/config.os2 config/config.oww:
  Remove the test for pwd.h, the configuration flag HAVE_PWD_H, and the
  conditional code that copies GECOS information from the password file
  into the header of PostScript and PDF output files.  This addresses
  reported issues of privacy and reported problems with building a static
  executable.

I considered removing the /Title at the same time, but settled for
documenting a way to disable generation of the corresponding PDFMark
by editing the locally installed PostScript prolog template.
