Description Martin Renvoize 2016-10-25 14:54:00 UTC
I have no idea what this script does and can't find any documentation for it anywhere.. 

We should either document it, or remove it ;)

Easiest way to start discussion... move this in the needs sign-off queue. 

Some historical information can be found in the git log, but no details:

Comment 4 Martin Renvoize 2019-02-12 13:55:37 UTC
Totally agree with the removal here.. Signing Off and adding a bunch of cc's to try and catch some attention of anyone who might know if it's still in use anywhere.
