Remember the discussion, but it didn't make sense to keep it then--and having
had it for all of the 5 builds (looking like an oversight though we know it was
not) maybe it is time for it to go? When crossing to 6 in 18 months, or do it
sooner if this is done for 5.4 or 5.5--either way is the directory necessary to
user profile?
