It is a reasonable question :-) At first, and still now really, it was in case we needed to revert to using these files. Yes, we have moved away from *using* the files, but what was not wanted was to remove them and then find that we needed them! As such they just got left in the distribution. They aren't upgraded when the '--update' option is used (with 1.3.0). They will quite probably be removed at a later release (i.e. 1.3.1 or whatever). Since they don't take up much space at all, it wasn't seen as being a problem to just leave them in place for the next release.
