Please remove it completely.

The rule here is we upstream only care about in-tree users, any out-of-tree
user is beyond what we care. They either need to push their code that uses
this to upstream, or have to carry a revert downstream.

People carry downstream changes all the time, this one isn't an exception.

Let's respect rules.

Thanks.
