I believe so. These days, the window manager will decorate the window
so you will know whether it's focused or not, but back in the day you
couldn't count on that.
If it gets in your way, rip it out. It's your branch. If it's not a
big deal, it's probably not a good idea to rip it out because somebody
will complain and then you have to put the feature back, probably
with an option to enable/disable it. ;-) But of course good version
control means never having to say you're sorry!

It's not really ripping it out. By replacing
if (cursor && focus && NILP (bar_cursor_value))
with
if (cursor && NILP (bar_cursor_value))
in XLIKE_output_string, the bar cursor will always display, which makes
more sense to me. I was just wondering if it was actually decided to hide
the bar cursor, or if it was just an accident.
