Basically so existing installations still have a place to point
symlinks.  Keep your friends close, and your old deprecated code even
closer?  Maybe we should edit sections.pl to always return an
informative error page ("don't use this plugin").  Patches welcome :)

Note that since last October or so, there's been a
"README.deprecated" in plugins/Sections that explains you shouldn't
use it.  Since then, it would not have installed as part of a theme,
you would have had to run install-plugin to install it... which as of
at least December, tells you afterwards:

    print "\n\nInstalled.\n\n";
    print "Please check to see if there are any README files for your site'=
s\n";
    print "plugins.  If so, now's a good time to read them.\n\n";
