Too little, too late; but the one case where I used this particular
port in the past was when I ran across an old bzip (not bzip2) archive
I was unable to otherwise uncompress with bzip2 or other tools. After
some digging around in the ports tree, this baby saved the day.
I won't lose much sleep with this gone (for me, it was just the one
odd occurence), just pointing out a possible use case for the tool
even though your argument makes sense.
