all of these appear to be unused now. Can you remove them?
They aren't currently used but I expect some partners to make use of
them on their private development. I could drop them from the upstream
branch temporarily.
Depends.  If your expectation from those partners is a real probability 
then it is best to keep a skeleton in place for them to use, otherwise 
they might get ... creative.  If this is just wild speculation then you 
should drop it.
I dropped them for now since there is no API using those functions. But
I have a feeling they will be needed at some point (so I'll keep the
patches around).
