I vote for deleting it; principle of least confusion. Don't go out of your
way to make it harder for someone to do a real implementation later though.

Actually it might be fine to just comment it out, with a note to the effect
of "this functionality was never completely implemented" ...

Personally, I prefer protocol-based approaches to "lib" implementations.
I maintain the WRS/vxWorks commercial patches to GDB, and really need to
clean them up so they can go back in; unfortunately I came down with a
tenacious illness at the turn of the year, and since then I have been
struggling just to keep up with release deadlines.
