Okay, so the outcome seems to be that there are a handful of users.
I'll keep the debugger around for a little longer but I'm going to
apply the following changes:

1.  Update the stability level to '0 - Deprecated'.  No bug reports or
pull requests accepted anymore, it is what it is.

2.  Remove the tests.  They're really flaky anyway.

3.  Medium/long-term break out the debugger into a separate module.

Thanks for taking the time to reply everyone.
