It is part of Git probably forever and is really really convenient for scripting in any language you want. The only valid argument IMHO is the way too large number of Git commands directly available from the cmdline. The solution: make purely plumbing commands _not_ directly available from the command line. Instead, they can be available through 'git lowlevel <blah>' instead of 'git <blah>' and only 'git lowlevel' would stand in your shell default path. Such a scheme can be implemented in parallel with the current one for a release while the direct plumbing commands are deprecated in order to give script authors a transition period to fix their code.
