IMO the best way would be to move it to a module and test it, at least with the evaluation version of Xopus. But I don't know if I find the time - any volunteers?
if it's used, somebody who needs it (or whose clients need it) should holler now and wrap it up into a module. but unmaintained code should not be allowed to stay in the core for longer than a grace period for very small values of grace.
