What you mean by "major tool relying on imap"? I've used ext/imap
multiple times in the past, and I know others do too. Of course, there
are different libraries, so what - there are also libraries that support
HTTP or JSON, that's not the reason to remove HTTP or JSON support from
PHP.

The same reason as for other things - it is useful and being used. If
you have reasons why not, I'm fine with considering them, but so far it
has been a bit vague. The fact that the library is not updated doesn't
mean it doesn't work. If it doesn't work - fine, let's see where it
doesn't work and decide then.
