True enough. I was already deep in today's -rc4 tagging before this exchange, so it may be a while until the result is pushed out, but as far as I know the helpers are now stubs, and README no longer says "a random version that will go stale is kept here merely for convenience". As additional topics that touch contrib/remote-helpers/ need to be reverted from 'next', the final pushout may take longer than usual. We'll see.
