Description
Currently, OpenML works with uploading textual references, that are able to be reconstructed in the correct library.
There is an additional option to upload source and binary files. I think this is a bug in the system. We can not use these files, as we would never be able to read them. The field source file and binary file are not used by either the Java or Python API. I don't know about the mlR API, @giuseppec can you comment? If I remember correct, you also don't use it.
If everyone is OK with this, we (s/c)ould remove this feature.

Research direction
Start by tracing where source and binary file uploads are handled in the OpenML system, then check whether the Java, Python, and mlR APIs use those fields. Done means the team has agreed on removal and the unused upload feature is removed consistently across the affected APIs.
