Afaict the Octave people still use it. There was a guy in #dri-devel
who was having issues with the Windows build not too long ago [1]

Iirc the VTK folk are were using osmesa, although I'm not sure if (how
much) Windows support is a thing for them. Hence the presence of the
scons build.

All of that is more of jfyi rather than feeling sentimental about nuking it :)
