whatever it is, certainly the purpose is not to show how good
a sysadmin is in using a knife's blade as a screwdriver and a fork
and a spoon. Heck, even swiss army knives have these extra
tools.

I think that if something in /rescue can make the task faster
and less error prone, removing it to save 10-50k of disk space
would be a big mistake.
