A related but IMHO more interesting set of questions could be:

1. Should every trivial crap $someone ever implemented since 1978 end up
in general purpose library just because $someone happend to have to
power to put it into it?

2. Should people be required to memoize every trivial crap $someone ever
implemented since 1978 just because that someone happened to have to
power to ...?

3. Should people who consider themselves Very Superior Entities because
the have memoized every trivial crap $someone ever ... and so on, be
taken as seriously as they continuously demand?
