Deprecate git-svnimport?

I said that because in the time I've been using git and reading this list, I think I've seen a grand total of one patch to git-svnimport, a ton of them to git-svn, and an occasional new user posting about git-svnimport failing to do something that git-svn would have done if they'd used it instead.

It looks like git-svnimport hasn't been updated to the 1.5.x remote branch naming convention (it still calls the svn head tracking branch "origin" if its manpage is to be believed).

Originally it looked like git-svn was what you used if you wanted to track just one svn branch bidirectionally, and git-svnimport was how you tracked multiple svn branches read-only. But now that git-svn has good handling of multi-branch svn repositories, I wonder if git-svnimport still serves a purpose. Should it perhaps be deprecated and removed in a future release? Or is it still useful for things that git-svn doesn't handle?
