Packagers should have the packaging scripts pretty much ready for the release. Removing a binary will cause work for them. Since we have shipped this for years + the fact that it is not broken, I don't see a reason why it should happen in this RC-stage. Why not remove it from trunk (KDE 4.7) only and leave it in 4.6?
