From the commit message: "This module isn't used anywhere in GHC." That seems like a good reason to remove, to me. While I can understand the frustration at having this disappear when you need it, we can't quite just keep whole unused modules around in the hope that someone someday will use them. > I needed it today and now I am unsure what the > suitable replacement is.

A codebase as large and sprawling as GHC's needs constant pruning. The alternative is not to control the sprawl, and that seems considerably worse than refactorings and churn.
