I second that, if there are no users for that ccg gadget, we need not
keep in tree. Specially since we will be providing a more stable
userland ABI which will solve the same problems ccg tries (though
wrongly) to solve.

Unless it can be proven that ccg has active users, we should get rid of
it for now before someone starts using it and we need to maintain the
ABI for the next 10 years.
