Not sure what you mean by that. Absence of access to PS(mod_data)
certainly doesn't mean the user can not extend it's function, e.g. the
manual demonstrates EncryptedSessionHandler - is there something wrong
with that?  Of course, there can be many more examples of it.

I don't think this is a good idea. There are valid uses of this, and
there's code using it. Removing it does not achieve any goal as far as I
can see.

I'm not sure why you say that - if they don't implement any methods,
wouldn't that class work exactly as the native handler? Isn't the native
handler useful?
