I wouldn’t say it’s useless. Although I’m certainly prone to writing
useless code, this importer serves a need and allowed me to successfully
create the many texlive-* packages we have now.
I’ll admit, though, that it’s the one importer that I like the least :)

Could you please outline what this would mean?
