Remove current implementation of ./x suggest

This is quite a bit of implementation complexity, yet it is quite
broken, and we don't have the maintenance bandwidth to address.

Remove the current implementation if only to reduce bootstrap's
implementation complexity; the `suggest` flow comes with its own set of
hacks.
