It is contrary to pkgsrc doctrine to remove packages because we think
other people shouldn't be using them.  The question is if they are,
compared to how much it is costing us to deal with it.  Here, the cost
was small, it isn't holding anything back, it isn't making anything else
icky, and it was mostly about understanding a class of bugs, not about
this in particular.

(Fair point about state of upstream, but apparently it is alive as we
read in subsequent updates.)
