It's part of the internal API used by code that has been byte-compiled with Emacs-20 (the macro-expansion of define-derived-mode used derived-mode-run-hooks back then). So removing it may prevent running .elc files compiled with Emacs-20. I'd expect that several people have .elc files compiled with Emacs-20 for the purpose of making them work with both Emacs-20 and Emacs-21, so unless you have a good reason to get rid of that function (and the various other similar ones in derived.el), I'd recommend we keep it a bit longer. After all, derived.el is normally not loaded by end-users anyway so its size doesn't matter that much.
