It's not only included in the tarball, it's also installed (binary
package texlive-lang-african). texlive also has additional Type1 fonts
(see also #390195).
The TeXlive maintainers generally appreciate if someone cares for a
particular component of TeXlive and maintains it in a separate package;
we exclude the stuff from our packages and Recommend the separate
package. However, if no one steps up and maintains ethiop, there's no
problem in just removing it now.
