I'm actually in shock that you would propose such a thing!

Many wysiwyg web builders still use ftp as their publishing mechanism.  I'd
bet that most freebsd servers out there have ftpd enabled, but of course
that's just my opinion.  I really wish it would do secure ftp, but that's
another discussion...

My vote is don't remove it from base.
