I'm all for ripping it out too. It's an insane interface anyway.

I've not heard a single complaint about this being turned off in
fedora/rhel or any other distro that has this disabled.

I'd love to remove it, we could absolutely test it. The fact that
several major distros have it disabled makes me think it's fine.

But as always, it would be good to check Android.

The desktop distros tend to have the same tools and programs, so if
Fedora and RHEL haven't needed it for years, then it's likely stale in
Debian too (despite being enabled).

But Android tends to be very different. Does anybody know?
