We should keep the miner, as a reference. People might start their own block chain, or perform research. BitcoinMiner() provides all that in a self-contained package.
Just hide it from the user in the GUI and command line help, IMO.

The built-in miner is darn useful for -testnet (and testnet-in-a-box) testing.
Before removing it or hiding it in the client, content on the wiki and website needs to be updated, too.

I pretty much agree with removing the miner from the client. Before mining gets removed, though, we should have a separate stand-alone miner as a reference implementation.

IMHO: remove 4way code, hide miner from GUI, leave reference miner in codebase.
