I think try to use it to serve as some sort of transitional staging
ground is both confusing and pointless. At least it is proving to be
confusing at the toolstack level.

If it is so broken as to be useless then lets just remove it. If it is
broken but still potentially useful under limited circumstances then
lets just leave it completely alone until the replacement is ready.
