I think that in principle the use case seems fair, so it could be uploaded. However, if you only packaged it as a dependency and it's not being used afterall, I'd not go through the trouble of uploading it. You say that "the work is already been done", but every package has a maintenance cost associated with it. Because re-doing the packaging of this is not that difficult, I'd suggest to just leave the package for now. If someone actually wants to use the functionality they can make the upload, especially because of the highly specialistic purpose of this package. Of course, this is just my opinion. If you want to upload it nonetheless there's no fundamental problem with that. Thijs
