Is the module useful? Sample code that can not be used in the real world
should not be compiled and shipped in binary form.
As for being supported, as long as YOU are willing to support it then there's
no problem. We ship many things that the upstream doesn't support. Many
Debian packages have features that the upstream authors don't like.
