Gopher support was added mainly because it was simple (trivial to add). But apparently even something that was trivial at the time, does cause complications down the line when adding more features. We recently ran into a few issues with io-threads conflicting with the gopher support. We had to either complicate the code further in order to solve them, or drop gopher. AFAIK it's completely unused, so we wanna chuck it, rather than keep supporting it.
