Several people have pointed out that the harm from removing these commands isn't that great because

(a) recent scripts tend not to use this mechanism to figure out the type of platform, and

(b) older scripts will still work (with error messages) because a missing command evaluates to false.

But what about the other side of the cost-benefit equation? What's the upside from removing a handful of tiny files? I'm afraid I don't see it.
