Let me rephrase - this is the only explanation I'm going to provide:

_I_ am not going to remove it. If others feel so strongly that they would rather remove existing functionality (as ugly as it is), then _they_ can do the deed.

Hi,

We all agree that filemon(4) is an ugly hack.  It probably should never
have gotten committed.  But it is there now, and there are a (very) few
use-cases.  So we don't want to remove it without having a replacement
implementation.

Well, can you explain?  Why would we not want to remove it and be done
with that nonsense?

Ciao,
Wolfgang
