It's not really untested, it has been in use some time ago. But of
course there's a chance that some changes broke it.
Yes, git ressurection is easy. To inform potential users, you might
just leave a comment like this:

/*
 * There has been a function once to detach from a running reada.
 * If you need such functionality, just revert the commit that
 * added this comment.
