Comment (by jeffmcneill):

 Yes, but there are problems it is causing that the default page, post and
 comment are not:

 - It is not being updated often or much, because to do so is an update to
 CORE which people don't want to do (see comments on tickets for hello
 dolly)
 - It causes problems with SVN updates if it is removed (at least in the
 past it has)
 - It can still exist as a plugin for people to use/test (and it would be
 better if that plugin were updated, to show people what a current plugin
 should look like), so the argument people like/want to use it, they are
 not being deprived
 - Unlike post/page/content it is not activated and so doesn't do anything
 unless enabled
 - Unlike Akismet it doesn't do anything useful
