There are more use cases on your server, but the same applies to eg
'traceroute'. It's handy to have (along with 30 or so other packages),
but they are so dependent on the server and who's running it.

Better to not second guess that with daemons at least. Add my +1 for
removing on server and +1 for removing on desktop.
