This, so much this.  Why is it so controversial to put the thing in a
package?  Why do people want so badly to just remove it?  Why wasn't it
discussed about putting it in a package?

It seems like if, instead of *deleting* things, they were just moved to
packages, probably nobody would have complained.  Or at least, it would
have been fewer people (I wouldn't have), and the complaints would have
been lighter ("you could have told me" vs "how dare you").

Live and learn.  And please, package it.  ALL of it.
