So, what would you like to do then? :)

It's been pretty much dead code since it was committed more than a year ago
and we try to avoid keeping dead code in tree. It's not a ton of work to
keep it updated, but that's all that's happened to the pass in the mean
time and we don't have any idea when it might be usable.

Thoughts?
