Historically it was developed for use with MUAs.  It's clearly a
"minor" mode, but it conflicts with almost all interesting text major
modes because they are used to edit formats that provide their own
footnoting capabilities.  Thus, "mail".  YMMV, of course, but the case
for moving it seems pretty weak to me.
