I think that right now is a good time, before we get too busy with 3.5.1.

What do you suggest? remove the library, add a big warning to demo and
then test everything?

Also, I suggest to get rid of $_REQUEST, because the origin of its
contents is unclear. Ideally, at every place where we refer to
$_REQUEST, a comment should explain the possible origin of the contents.
