Comment:

 The idea is not to remove the plugin from the plugin directory, but to
 remove it from core. None of its supposed benefits are harmed by being
 removed from core, and all of the problems with the plugin are in fact
 removed, when it is removed from core. If anyone cares about the community
 opinion on this, just take a browse through the reviews of this plugin.
 The reviews are so bad because people are forced to install this with
 core. [https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/hello-dolly]

 If anyone were to say "Hey, let's get this plugin into core" today,
 everyone would laugh. However, just because it was done historically, and
 lives on historically, doesn't make the historical fact any more
 justifiable. Time to move on!
