Site Messages: do we use these at all?

I'm doing a little before-bed Template Toolkitting as a before-bed easy coding thing--I was thinking of converting the site messages area of the admin to TT, but I'm also wondering if we use it at all, or have plans of doing so, in case what I should be doing is figuring out how to jettison it?

When I put one in, it displays in a widgety-thing on the homepage, but I'm not seeing other places yet. Good to know it can be yanked! About 100 lines of BML code would go away, ha, another 8.1k to go. (Converting the admin area is my snowball theory of BML riddation. It's about 1/5 of all the BML--significant but not overwhelming to consider!)

I *think* it might be the thing that shows the banners on various site-schemed and journal pages. I'm not 100% sure, though.

Yes. I definitely implemented it while working at LJ...though I don't remember exactly how/where they showed up.

*nod* After this long I definitely think that it probably would have bitrotted anyway, so!
