As the author of builtin-runstatus, I had always intended that it was a temporary part of the transition to a C git-commit, and would go away then. But I see in the interim somebody documented it. It should perhaps have been called git-status--helper, and the documentation should have read "DO NOT USE THIS."
So certainly my intent was for it to go away, but whether it has become something else is perhaps up to others to judge.
