 * I believe someone is paying money to add this useless plugin to WordPress with
   every installation. If you see this plugin, please remove it.

 * Hi [@niezmywalny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niezmywalny/)! Thank you
   for taking the time to write a review.
 * This plugin was an early example of the plugin API, and has been bundled with
   WP core for historical reasons. You can find out some discussion about this on
   [this trac ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11538).
