None of which are sufficient reasons for removing it, of course ;-)

This might be a stronger reason.  I've never used it, so I won't miss it.

On the complexity topic, while I was working on the windows \absolute\path 
problem (which is non-urgently awaiting your input, BTW) I was surprised by the 
number of methods which do similar things to determine the path of an @<file> 
node.  I can understand how such complexity could have evolved, but I suspect 
there's room for simplification.  Maybe after you've had time to look at the 
\absolute\path bug, which isn't urgent.
