Hi
You are not alone with that point of view. We are not removing anything if it is still being used due to backwards compability. 
Besides it doesn't cost us anything (time, money, resources) to run dual. When nobody/a very low  percentage is querying our .int 
zone, which could be some time in 2015 or even later (or maybe never?), we will remove it.
