It is hard to make such a broad "no useful benefit" claim without
giving a bit more analysis [*]. With only that single sentence, it
is far worse justification than saying that "The author tells us not
to use it, and it is not even documented" to convince others why
removal is a good idea.
I'd suggest dropping that sentence (replace it with something we can
objectively verify, like "it is not even documented", if you want to).
Thanks.

clear that it couldn't possibly be useful, etc. etc.
