Keep it, as is, along with the other 1.2 templates and stylesheets
(wp-layout.css, wp-comments.php, wp-comments-popup.php, and index.php).
They will be used to build the site theme.  They can be kept around as
fallback, if so desired.  Just stick "$wp_template_redirect = false;" at
the top of the index and the old 1.2.x way of doing things is restored.
