i'm talking about when this crap was added originally, not any recent

no one here said you had to change your PM.  i could care less about your PM. 
feel free to keep that crap in your PM forever ... it is after all your own 
fault.  nothing you said here is relevant to PMS in any way.

it's actually kind of sad how you can sit there and block any PMS additions 
that have been used in the tree for years because you didnt feel like 
implementing it in your PM, yet crap that was explicitly never official or in 
used in the tree you feel you have a right to keep in the PMS.  it doesnt 
belong there, it never has, so delete it/branch it already.
