This is an interesting point. My reasoning for removing them was that I've
never seen *anyone* working to maintain them, or to add them to files where
they're missing. However, I suspect that the users benefiting from them
simply aren't deeply enough involved with the project to notice or care
about the inconsistency? I'm all for low barriers of entry, so if there's
any evidence that this is true, I'd want to make them more prolific.
