If the break is hypothetical, then why not leave it in there, perhaps
using @deprecated?

If there is just one user depending on it, they will have an api
break. IMO no api breaks means *no* api breaks, only when security or
stability is at risk we *might* warrant an api break.

How badly it's needed... probably not as there is a workaround
possible. However, I don't get why you would be against removing/
changing something that doesn't work *at all* at the moment. Clients
cannot even use it, so the 'break' is purely hypothetical.
