To maybe give a bit of explanation: This should IMO never have been added
because it is not related to multimedia at all.  Sure, we have many bits
of obscure fringe code, but in those cases we are the only free software
implementation available.  Yes, we care about fringe stuff, as long as
it is multimedia.

There are other programs and communities that cater to nostalgic hobbyists
with interest in obsolete network protocols.  Libav is not a collection of
network protocol implementations.  If we have Gopher, we could as well
have UUCP, Telnet, NNTP to name a few obsolete non-multimedia protocols.

This might not be all that much code, but it is particularly silly.
