Usage is as low as it gets:

Unless there's some argument from consistency with Range.detach(), which is used:

Fine with me to remove it. Do you want to lead in implementation?
Comment 2 Philip Jägenstedt 2014-11-20 19:22:28 UTC 
Today I spent some time helping people deal with breakage after the removal of another rarely used function in https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=434976 so I'm feeling less bold about this.

If someone else moves first I'd be happy to kill this in Blink as well, but otherwise I'll save my trouble-making for non-standard stuff and stuff that enables simplification.
