I agree with Gian. 

Calcite uses JMH. We don’t distribute the binaries it produces — because we 
only need them for running benchmarks. 

It’s not an identical situation to MySQL because while there are other 
implementations of JDBC — e.g. Postgres — there is only one implementation of 
JMH. But JMH is only used during testing, not production.

So, let’s not do anything rash, like starting to remove code. I think we will 
have clarity in a few days as various folks in Apache react to what Owen has 
done. We can revisit this as part of the first Druid release.
