What prompted this change? It's not exactly a mortal sin for code to be
old or even ancient, and if there is a sounder reason to remove this
file (most of all if in connection to the scratch/interpreted-function
branch), we ought to consider the impact of whatever changes are
concerned on Lisp code at large, of which legacy-gnus-agent.el is just
one specimen, before hastening to remove offenders from Emacs proper.
