No. 1. Compiling make 3.81 today and installing it is trivial, so it
shouldn't be removed today. 2. I've finally decided that I'm going to
look outside of the box into providing equivalent functionality via
shell functions using purely built-in commands [and test(1)] to fill
in the feature gaps for make 3.80. I've gotten to the point where I
just gave up trying to ride out what I possibly can in make 3.80, so
it's time to pull in some external pieces to get the job done.

Thanks,
