I actually use the plugin.  However, i would not be against it if you
decided to remove the plugin from the default gaim build.  That is to
say, i would appreciate keeping the code around and current, but
perhaps making it a --enable autoconf option.  Frankly, i think the
plugin name and description should be enough to keep people from
enabling it, but perhaps if people are being confused by the name and
description, then the problem could be solved there through renaming
and clarification rather than complete removal of the plugin.
