I've really not heard of anyone using it recently. I have at least kept it 
working over the last little while, and it might possibly be useful on a 
limited basis if you want the output of certain recipes to be in the form of a 
tarball; without dependencies though as you say it's of no use beyond that. 
I'd be fine with dropping it as well if it's simply not going to be used.

Cheers,
Paul
