Remove the insistance on having a device.hints. This was a seat belt

for those upgrading from 4.x -> 5.x.  It is therefore no longer
necessary because it is installed on 5.x and 6.x and one has to
upgrade from 6.x -> current, or at the very least 5.x (although not
supported, it can be made to work).
