As far as I know the gnome-disk-utility is a good diagnosis tool for SMART and other data around harddrives. It also warns you whenever you make a destructive move. So I don't think we should remove it.

As long as dd (disk destroyer) is still there under the hood, I'd say
it's fine to remove it from my perspective. There's not any package or
