Comment (by novasource):

 Is there even a compelling reason to retain this plugin? What's its
 purpose? How is it helping the product or the community?

 Some have said a learning example. Well, that's fine as a contributed
 plugin, but certainly the vast majority of WordPress users are just users,
 not plugin developers.
