--- Comment #2 from Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> ---
Everybody wants to remove utilities that don't seem useful to them for one
reason or another, because they're so visible, but they are not a problem.

What would be actually useful is to remove unused functions, or other forms of
dangling stuff from past removals. That would be actually improving the
maintainability of the code base, and paying real technical debt.

There is more code on the table to be removed from the latter than the former.
