It's generally not that I don't fix them up because I hate them, it's
just because they are doing something so incredibly stupid that it would
take forever to fix up (and something that would have been could if it
ever had been through review).   For this particular case I think everyone
would be served much better if this module was simply dropped from the
tree, as there will be lots of future patches that will break it.
