Agreed.

This is exactly what "contrib" directories are for:  things that are
useful and worth distributing as a courtesy, but are *not* directly
supported by the main development team.  If something is ever
promoted/taken over by main developers, then it gets removed from
contrib/, and added into the "proper" location elsewhere in the
project.
