I was actually expecting you to come down on the side of "keep it
until it gets in the way". But if it's getting in the way already then
it seems reasonable to start talking about getting rid of it.

It only affects OpenACS if they want to upgrade to 8.5 which will
presumably mean other application changes as well. Though probaby none
requiring as much major code changes as this.
