i don't see the relation between th predicate and the conclusion there.
whatever, "removing from ctan" is something the author does, and given
the _other_ uses of preview.sty, i don't really see that it would be
particularly desirable.

preview.sty has other uses, for sure.
i don't believe your proposal is a "solution", but if the authors want
to remove preview.sty from ctan, we wouldn't prevent them.
