Yes, or abandon it entirely.  We surely don't need it in our base
system.  Even for ports, I'd be surprised to find anything useful that
still relied on libg++.  Any software that still uses libg++ is almost
certainly unmaintained, and uncompilable with modern C++ compilers.
(I.e., it does not conform to the C++ standard.)  Libg++ is _ancient_.
It pre-dated templates even.
