The only question is: do we care about backward compatibility? I can also remove the example from MyWay or write that it's a bit obscure. It really is an obscure application. OK, I just neglected the fact that I do use that in the gnuplot module (which is not mkiv ready for two tiny and obscure reasons that could be fixed long ago). In case that I won't be drawing the graphs for thesis in excell, I'll try to fix the module. I don't think that any other sane person uses \TeXtext. (I don't, and module should be fixed anyway.)
