I'm not using it and I'd vote for commenting out. It's then oneself
responsibility to use it or not

This is a good question. Does anyone actually USE this? It's an

If any does use this, please speak up. If anyone doubts they will
ever
use this, also please speak up...
As for the security restrictions(or severe lack there of, for this),
we
tend to use standard jsp pages, that require normal login
protection(and
the full support that ofbiz gives for that), to implement
'remote-control' of events.
If ofbiz is suppsoed to be a set of best practices, then this is *not*
one of them. I vote for removing it, and *not* leaving it commented
out.
Yes, well, as much as best practices is a priority, pragmatism is a
higher one... especially in a world where one man's best practice is
another man's nightmare (and since we are human we all need to
remember that even if we are the first "man" in that sentence, the
second "man" in the sentence may be us in the future).
On the pragmatic note, we can deprecate and remove things, but I
generally don't like it if there is no replacement. Once an adequate
replacement is in place that people like in general, THEN we can
consider deprecation and removal.
Of course, if no one is using a certain feature, then we might as well
toss it... hence my request for community feedback.
