Now you tell me, is it sensible to have it installed, or not?

Actually, I think you may be cofusing this package, with the one provided by iRex.
The package this thread is talking about, setups up remote access to your iLiad so that you can access the filesystem from your PC to make changes or fix problems if something goes wrong.
The package that's included in the Shell access for 2.11 gives you the ability to reflash your iLiad from a compactflash card in the event of a software issue.
The later is more useful to the average user, and neither package conflicts with one another. However, the package in this tread can cause the battery to drain a little faster because wireless lan and an extra pocesss is running all of the time.
