It's just not practical. We have to get rid of things that we no longer
think is very useful in Emacs, otherwise Emacs will grow unbounded, and
we don't have the maintainer capacity for that.
Emacs has a package system. If there's a feature we remove from Emacs
that people think is useful, they'll create a package for it and carry
on.
