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?

Heh, I'm not sure. Give me a code reference?

I don't even know where those display! If it's what I think it is, it might've been introduced just as we were forking and possibly not 100% implemented?

Either way, we aren't using it and I don't have plans to use it in the future, so as far as I'm concerned it can get yanked.

It only shows up on the front page, and only if there are site messages. I remember asking about them when I implemented the front page modules long ago, and was told to keep them around "just in case". Over two years later, and that just in case hasn't materialized, so!
