If you weren't using sympow you won't be missing it and nothing would break.
Nothing apart from lfunctions/sympow.py calls sympow and I don't think
anything in that python file is called from anywhere else - it just provides
the interface to talk to sympow.
Unfortunately, with sympow not working, several doctests fail.
I stated in
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9703
that it was
devel/sage/sage/lfunctions/sympow.py
but in fact, these all fail with a message about sympow.
devel/sage/sage/modular/abvar/abvar.py
devel/sage/sage/modular/hecke/submodule.py
devel/sage/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_rational_field.py
In short sympow could be made optional
overnight by dropping it from the deps file.
I think it needs a bit more than that.
Many people, myself included, feel optional should mean it works on all
supported platforms. In the case of sympow, it is not working on two platforms
that should soon be supported.
I'd like to see it moved to experimental myself. It would save a lot of
headaches!
