You're right, I wasn't particularly clear. That was certainly the case originally, I just don't think there is a good reason for it going forward.

Historical reasons. I personally used it in a project around 2015 because of its history. And you'd need to use it if you're comparing against anything else that used it, though given its age, that seems unlikely.

But like I said elsewhere, I'm ambivalent about its future use.
