I quite agree. The point that was made to me was that there was some
concern that it was being included. If it meant not annoying upstream
moving it to a personal webpage until beta/final release would probably
have been a good move. As upstream (that have spoken so far) seem happy
for it to live in unstable there is no problem :)
