I tend to agree, but I'd like to hear the opinion of Richard (CC'd).

Well, reason 1 and 3 are quite surely not enough to remove it, maybe not
even reason 2. The reason why I agree that it can be removed is that
it's almost completely copy+paste code from other targets with no real
IMS-specific code which would be useful for anyone.

It may be easier to just start fresh if/when the IMS shall be ported to v2.

Richard, please let us know if we shall keep the code, otherwise I'll
remove it in one or two days.


Cheers, Uwe.
