Yes ;-)  The code is buggy and undocumented.  Fixing bugs and adding
documentation are appropriate after the beta and before the release
candidate.  

However, in this case, a complete bugfix would also entail a change in
the signature.  And since the function is unnecessary, removing it
entirely is a safer fix.  Leaving it in only increases the risk that
someone will find it and link to it.

OTOH, I don't care enough about this one to push it.
