It would not make a big difference for me, because I hardly use it, but at the Ubuntu Forums I notice that people are using it for various tasks. I would not consider it dangerous, but on the other hand, I keep backups ;-) What feature is it, that you consider potentially dangerous? And would you prefer to have it in another submenu (for example System Tools)? Or would you like to use the disk space for a more useful tool?
