Yes, mlconvert.el is useless and I will remove it completely.

I do not think it is worth the work. First, we are removing mocklisp in the
head only (when do you expect the release from it?). I have just checked
all elisp packages I use on my system and there is no one which uses any
mocklisp functions now. The only exception is/was insert-string which will
be moved into subr.el and marked obsolete (all packages are now rewritten
to use insert anyway).

the only thing that counts :-)
