NAK.
IMHO, this is quite unfriendly.

Is this removal based on your opinion, or Junio's position (or consensus from maintainers from the list)? If there is a clear consensus or direction for old code such as this, please let me know (but copy martin.langhoff@gmail.com, not just my very old address!).

Says who? Is there consensus on this?

It's generally the privilege of the maintainer -- in this case Junio or perhaps Linus -- to take harsh stances like this.

Junio, what's your position?
