No, it should not.  There is a stable branch, with shipping releases,
and support until at least June 30, 2020, possibly longer.

The questions are:
(a) will the request still be relevant then?
(b) do we still want to support it then?
(c) with pkgbase hopefully coming, will it still matter or is it better 
off to be “3rd party” software?
(d) if it’s coming back, do we have a developer to care about it and 
take care of the original reason that triggered the removal?
