This script has been largely unmaintained for a long time, so my
personal opinion is that i'd rather see it removed.
That said, i know for a fact that users (especially non-expert ones)
rely on this script, so removing it without providing a replacement is
not practical. This patchset IMO is a good first step towards bringing
the script up to date, but more work is needed as current usability of
the script is atrocious.
