No, I think it doesn't.
It was useful when 3.0.6 was the current stable release it makes no more
sense after that release has been obsoleted.

yes, let's remove it.

this has been discussed before but I don't remember the outcome of the 
discussion.

In general I would avoid merging packages that have different maintainers.
They might not be willing to maintain the package once they feel it does
not "belong" to them anymore, so the burden of maintainance would be left on 
"The Community". 
So I would do that only by packages maintained by "The Community" or those 
where the maintainers 
of both packages give explicit consent.
