I am in no position to answer this question. I guess it will stay in the 
code, though it is a bit misplaced in terms of code encapsulation (a 
content rendering class shouldn't contain DB write functions). But 
anyway, as you say it's useful.

tslib_pibase has specific support for listing data of a table. You named 
the functions that do the job. tslib_pibase does not and IMHO should not 
provide all possible functions in the FE *

* My opinion is that it has too many functions already. I prefer a 
deeper class hierarchy, eg a real tslib_pibase base class, and eg a 
child class for db listing.
