Does it still make sense to ship this package and compile our packages against it or should it get dropped?

It makes a lot of sense.

It is what I use to paste lines from help files and such when repairing things in text mode. Or paste from one file to another on different virtual terminals.

Yes, it is indeed needed. Only that newcomers may not know it - they don't even know that text mode is useful.
