No one can remember what the module is for (pretty much no one here at the sprint right now could remember what the module is for). Plus the stdlib does not really aim towards image work.

+1 for removal.

Just read the code: it's for converting between color systems, e.g. HLS -> RGB.

True, but you need RGB values for most color values defined in web standards and things like luminance are a lot easier to change in HLS than in RGB.

Or documentation [1], ;)

I've never used it, but there have been cases where I could imagine being glad of a HSV->RGB converter. And having it in the stdlib is much better than having to hunt through PyPI trying to understand specialist imaging libraries.
It's also only 126 lines of code[1], for pity's sake!
