I'm -0 on this, since I don't really see the pressing need to strip out content and functionality that has been there nearly untouched for fully 20 years, when the script as a whole (now that PEP 676 should be pronounced on soon) should be retired within a couple months time at most, and to which any non-trivial further changes are effectively frozen anyway. While horribly unmaintainable, it doesn't really need to be maintained anymore, and I find it of historical value as a remarkably well-preserved time capsule into Python's past, so it might be fitting to retain that in the final version at the time it is removed. But perhaps I doth protest too much.
