I think you need to discuss that with whoever made that dictum; requiring
that a system be broken is not generally a good idea. Many software
packages will find it and use outdated programs or frameworks as a result.
It really needs to not be there at all.

(Newer Xcode should actually complain and tell you to run the removal
script on startup, because its presence can even break Xcode under some
circumstances.)
