I know many people use it. They tend to drop in and use it, and then drop back out. I don't see how taking this out will help us do anything about fixing things. I created this in hopes people would jump on and help to make it. I could _never_ get the ok to work on it when I was at Apple. Still haven't had time at Facebook. But I would like people to help improve it. It won't take much to make it better, just needs more than 1 person to try it out and help improve it. So I would vote to keep it in as we do have people that are using it.
