My view: it doesn't cost much, but it does cost something.  For
example, every time one greps the code to find all uses of a libguile
function/variable/macro, the GH code means that there is a bit more to
look at.  In general, I think less code is better, so we would need a
good reason for keeping the GH code, and we don't need an especially
compelling reason to throw it away.

Therefore, I vote for dropping it.
