No, it will not be removed.
A gazillion of applets do use it and it is a nice and handy impl.
Although landley talked about rewriting it in whole or in parts, he will
need to maintain equivalent functionality anyway.
Personally, i'd be reluctant to accept *any* re-impl of e.g. that
functionality if it does not impose a size-improvement. Otherwise we're
way better of with the functionality that is currently implemented, even
if it may be non-obvious to use for some. That's just me, though.
cheers,
