It'll still be needed for those of us using Kerberos-authenticated POP
service.  Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to use the
Kerberos code in a subprocess that doesn't have access to the network
file descriptor being used to talk to the POP server.  (I looked into
this after seeing the pop3 code included.)
