Michael,
I asked members of the team I work with about this
RFE and the predominant response was that they like
the idea of a <filecontents> element and would use
it if available.
However, we would use <filecontents> in place of
<literallayout> for non program files (e.g., an
excerpt of /etc/passwd) and would continue to use
<programlisting> for programs or program fragments.
Therefore, I would not want to retire <programlisting>.
