Well, the systems that support D-Bus certainly don't need it, as they
haven't been using that code since last May. Windows doesn't need
that, either.
As for others, I hope their users will speak up. If nothing else
turns up, I suggest to ifdef away this code after the release branch
is cut, and see if someone hollers.

That was my guess as well.
Thanks.
