I agree we should never delete it, for that good reason.
But we made it obsolete for a good reason, too: any program which
uses will misbehave in some unusual cases.  The only way to get
fully correct behavior is to eliminate the calls to interactive-p,
and instead use an optional argument which gets a non-nil value
in an interactive call.

All the calls in the Emacs code have been replaced.
Do any remain in ELPA?
