I am proposing to remove that code because as far as I know none of the maintainers is using it or willing to do any work on it in the public repository. If someone wants to then I am happy to keep it around. But if not then I do think it is confusing and a bit of a maintenance burden given that it is incomplete, there are no current users nor any tests for it. That doesn't mean you cannot keep hacking on your private copy if you don't want to deal with the public repository. How to work with and get code into the public repository is described in the CONTRIBUTING document. It does require a bit of trust.
