Just my 2 cents on this: I had managed to keep the 2 packages quite close to one another, so the maintainance load of memtest86 itself is really not that high. I had kept it as a fallback for users, as memtest86+ getting more aggressive hw features was sometimes failing on newer platforms. No hard numbers about how useful that has been in reality, though.
