IBM was the only company that ever cared about CIM for virtualization.
Everyone else wanted an API that was easy to use instead ;-P Even IBM
has lost interest now, so it is mostly a historical curiosity at this
point.  I wouldn't delete it, but also wouldn't spend alot of time in
it. If someone does have a desire to update the code in any way, go
at it and we can review it in the normal manner - no point waiting for
the original maintainers to review IMHO.
