any reason other than redunancy?
It is highly useful to some and currently outpaces d.* for quality.
Duplicate functionality is only a reason if:
a) it does a worse job for the task (debatable->personal choice), or
b) it distracts the developer pool too much from working on new things.
c) adds too much bulk
none of which are the case, IMO. it does a good job and the code hardly changes
(I think I'm the only one who actually works on it). It doesn't touch anything
outside its directory and the code is a fairly small portion of the overall
tarball.
i.e., what is the cost of leaving it there for those who depend on it?
AFAICS the primary thing it lacks is a nice GUI frontend composer.
