We removed the GPLv2 recipes as they created a false sense of security for people and a message needed to be sent out about them. They were a maintenance problem. These tune files aren't really causing a problem right now, from a maintenance or security perspective. Yes, we should remove things which are stale/obsolete and not useful but I think people are using this file and its not causing a problem.
