They where kept for backwards compatibility:
"For backwards compatibility, UNO components included in extensions that
shall still work with older OOo versions must continue to use active
registration."
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Passive_Component_Registration#Extensions

As we are prebundling them all, we dont care foe that too much right?

There are examples for active and passive registered extensions in
desktop/test, so indeed it should be possible.

Looks like some part of the "load/save performance test" one could
find in OOos EIS although I remember it mostly to be in Java. Maybe an
early implementation that was rewritten? If it is that, I dont know if
we ever want use that stuff, I dont remember it to reliable/reproducable
-- we sometimes called repeating that test until the result matched the
requirements "rolling dice".

It could however also be a bit of delicious copypasta, because the
VCLTesttool uses a subset of it.

Finally, since the makefile.mk of the dir is not in the build.lst I
assume it to be not even build. Thus: Maybe it is just long dead code
that can simply be removed?

Best Regards,

Bjoern
