New description:

 Previous descripion was:

 This function is very badly named and seems to only be there to add a
 statistic to find_stat, a project distinct from Sage.

 ncohen: Unless there is a reason to add a function a function that
 associates "the partition produced by the cardinalities of the connected
 components of a graph" (knowing that such a function can be written with
 only one line of code), and unless there is a better name for it, I
 propose to behave as if this function should have never made it in Sage,
 and remove it.

 I believe that this function has been added without caring at all about
 whether this function would be useful to other Sage users, and ONLY
 because of FindStat. Unless proven otherwise, let's remove it.

 As discussed there one year ago https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic
 /sage-devel/SnPfidRM9j8 and independently from the rewrite promised there
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-combinat-devel/YRc1GWa3XBg I
 believe that this function should be removed.

Comment:

 The ticket raised a point in my opinion, and what would be necessary is to
 change its title/description and, accordingly, the resulting code.
