It's been four years since this was added. In the interim, skein has not seen any mainstream adoption. Same with the threefish block cipher upon which it's based. In the discussion over which hash algorithm will replace SHA1 in git, it's not one of the contenders. There's absolutely no reason to think that there is anything wrong with Skein or Threefish. The only reason for this removal is a lack of adoption. If a real user comes forward, I'd be happy to assist with integrating this code into mainline.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
