It doesn't cost much to keep it, does it?
My view: it doesn't cost much, but it does cost something. For example, every time one greps the code to find all uses of a libguile function/variable/macro, the GH code means that there is a bit more to look at. In general, I think less code is better, so we would need a good reason for keeping the GH code, and we don't need an especially compelling reason to throw it away. Therefore, I vote for dropping it.
