After removing files from the repository they disappear from the source tree, and it is even hard to notice this if you don't use it regularly. It is hard to track the history of the removed file even if you know it exact path. If you know it only approximate this is harder.
I think that any file removals from the repository should pass some PEP-like process. Declaring the intention with the rationale, taking a feedback, discussing, and finally documenting the removal. Perhaps it is worth to track all removals in a special file, so if later you will find that the removed file can be useful you could restore it instead of recreating its functionality from zero in the case if you even don't know that similar file existed.
