Of course!
What I meant was: IMHO, usefulness should not be the parameter used to
decide if one package must end up in main or in contrib.
Uselessness can be a reason for completely dropping the package and
deciding to not distribute it. I would find it weird if uselessness were
a reason for moving the package from main to contrib...
That's all I meant.
