Comment(by drkirkby):

 Replying to [comment:2 dimpase]:
 > I recall someone saying that this is needed to support older versions of
 Sage, from the times it still was an optional package.

 I would have thought if someone had such an old version of Sage they would
 either have installed the optional package by now, or will never install
 it. It was made a standard package in about June 2010.

 I can't see any point in keeping this. There is more chance of someone
 corrupting their recent Sage installation by installing this, than there
 is by someone with an old version of Sage wanting to add GLPK now.
