It might reduce some of the perceived risks with changing opinions or
classifications of licenses if they aren't in use anyway. It's also a
bit of proof in the pudding, meaning the fact that no one is using it
may be evidence that the intended audience perceived unacceptable
drawbacks with the license that were missed at the time of approval.
