yes.  When this has come up in the past, people are still using binaries 
they built ages ago and no longer have sources to.  There's no treason 
to rip it out unless it can be shown to not be working.  This just 
removes one mandatory directory from startup (and even then, it is just 
a warning that's fixed).
