Here's something else to think about.

We're going to be doing a v2 of the data model quite soon.   There are
a lot of fields in the database that reflect cruft that's no longer
used, or was ill-considered in the first place.   The more of this
type of cruft we can remove, the better.  If we get rid of cruft now,
we won't have to put it in the conversion program, we won't need to
modify queries to accommodate the new feature in the data model, etc.,
etc.

I think whenever we find a feature that doesn't seem to make a lot of
sense and isn't widely used, if it has a special-purpose field in the
database, we ought to nix it prior to the v2 migration.   This seems
like a clear-cut case, absent any data that people are using it.
