As much as I'd like to see it go, I don't think we should until we're a lot
farther along the SysV->systemd migration path, just as a practical
matter.  I don't think removing this tool now will help us travel farther
along it.  There are other obstacles, to be sure, but I think anything we
can keep in place to facilitate migration is a good thing.
