I'm actually in shock that you would propose such a thing! Many wysiwyg web builders still use ftp as their publishing mechanism. I'd bet that most freebsd servers out there have ftpd enabled, but of course that's just my opinion. I really wish it would do secure ftp, but that's another discussion... My vote is don't remove it from base.
