Only if someone else besides me wants to maintain it _in_ the core.  They 
still use Perforce for Perl source control, which makes dealing with it a 
PITA, and I have plenty of work to do without adding more work to sync 
things up every time I make a release.

It's got a buttload of dependencies, too.

Personally, I'd just as soon see _nothing_ in the core so folks who 
complain about "it's not core" would have nothing to complain about ;)
