Well, if you already know you don't want to support it, then you are welcome to keep it for yourself. The often advocated idea "but I want to share my code" is quite pointless if the code is unusable.
I would like to point out an actual example where this happened. VotingAPI Field sat in webchick's sandbox "dead" for months. Seeing it I was inspired and a real project was born from those humble beginnings. So I completely disagree that it is pointless, even if the code is unusable as-is. If that code wasn't sitting there on that Friday night when I started, the project never would have happened. Now perhaps this doesn't happen often, and my case is an enigma. However, I seriously believe that this action could kill some useful future projects! Cheers, --fletch
