I certainly couldn't find anywhere explaining what the problem was either.

So far it appears fine.

We were using it in yocto 1.8, and now that we are moving to 2.3 we
want to keep using it, and other than the blacklist entry there does
not appear to be a problem.

It does not appear to have been removed from 2.3 of course, but I could
believe it was removed from the master tree (since I didn't check there).

It would certainly make my life easier if the blacklist was removed
(especially in 2.3.x) and the recipe stayed around.  It doesn't appear
to need any fixing at this time.
