I don't think we should make such decisions based on no one's
complaining: I've heard many times that people don't complain about
problems they bump into for any number of reasons.

I think we should decide whether this functionality is useful, and if
so, try to fix it, if that is feasible.  We should only remove it if
we don't consider this useful or if fixing it is not feasible.
