</div>Well the underlying reason is I think it's a dead end and I don't want to<br>
implement it in Warehouse.<br>
<br>
The reason for wanting to remove it *now* instead of just letting it naturally<br>
die when Warehouse becomes a thing is to remove the (unlikely) chance<br>
that someone starts to depend on it in the interim. Basically since afaik<br>
nobody even uses it (Crate did for awhile and I had to disable it because<br>
of false failures) the risk is minimal to removing it outright to prevent it from<br>
being used.<br>
<br>
Plus if the secret key has leaked (unlikely but possible given the implementation<br>
and the use of DSA) it's not just "cruft" it's outright dangerous.<br>
