Comment:

 @nacin's comment from a couple of years ago still stands - it doesn't need
 changes, because the point of it is to be as simple as possible. Unit
 tests are definitely outside of that "simple as possible" scope.

 It's also not going to be removed, as it gives a very basic introduction
 to what the plugin screen looks like when you have a plugin installed
 encourages new users to see what happens when they activate a harmless
 plugin, and provides a bit of fun and personality to WordPress. For more
 adventurous users, it gives them some very simple code to delve into,
 learning how to create plugins for themselves.

 Of course it will be removed by expert and professional WordPress
 developers - that's not necessarily the image you want to project when
 creating a client site. But there are many tools that will automatically
 remove it for you when you create your skeleton site, removing it from
 Core is wildly unnecessary for that.
