I don't have any data on it, but I'd speculate that CGI is still fairly widely used. Though how widely it's used with Python is another issue. Regardless of how poorly designed the cgi module is, removing it without providing a one-module migration path in PyPI doesn't seem like an obvious win.

CGI is a very useful way to throw a random script on a low-traffic webserver.
