Would the following be a viable alternative?:
  https://github.com/monsanto/readline-complete.el

If so, goodies can not only drop shell-command.el, but also Recommend
readline-complete.  This would also add a third state to addons
mentioned in NEWS.  [E]lpafied, [D]ropped, and maybe something like
[T]ransitioned?  The idea being that goodies continues to provide the
expected functionality, even if it is necessary to transition users to
better maintained alternatives.

Cheers,
Nicholas
