That seems more like an argument for not having non-free (as in beer)
proprietary software in the tree at all.
I have mixed feelings on this particular removal. I'd probably leave
it there until it is actually broken, but the problem with stuff like
this is that it is almost impossible to tell if it actually is broken,
since none of the devs have access to the distfiles. As a result it
probably makes sense to be more aggressive about treecleaning non-free
software if it doesn't have an active maintainer.
