For distros this is useless, of course. I've never used it either.
But I guess there are still people installing stuff from sources
without using a package manager, and they might find it convenient.

I'm not concerned about the space, but code needs to be maintained.
IMO, as long as it works, we can keep it; if it has issues we'd
better remove it.
We can drop compression support or do it right - I'm fine with
either option. We shouldn't keep the status quo, though.
