You didn't think it was hurting anything to keep it as is.  My view is
that since it's dead upstream and our release is behind their last
security release it should be dropped...I don't even think upping to
the last 4.4.9 release is a reasonable time investment at this point.

I was just trying to provide a way for people that want it (for
whatever reason) to be able to easily grab it without it being a
supported package with the csw tool chain.  Drop it is my official
stance.

That's my vote, too.  I don't even think this is a real question at
this point.

Agreed.
