Not anymore for me.  In fact, I switched to w3m-el a few years ago
because w3-el did not work with Emacs > 21, and I have to say that
w3m-el is much more usable since it runs the browser asynchronously and
does not block Emacs for such annoyingly long time.

I think removing would be best unless there is more upstream activity
and a new upstream release.  The fact that there's no released version
that works with Emacs 22 is telling.

That includes me, but I wouldn't miss really miss the package.
