There are three reasons to consider removal at this time: 1) Availability of the ArcSDE SDK is extremely low (can you even get ESRI to give it to you?) 2) Viability of direct-database query from PostGIS, Oracle, and SQL Server have obsoleted SDE 3) No current MapServer developers have the ability to test any code changes to the SDE driver.
