Q.2110 is ATM over ISDN B-channels, and the only use-case I have
ever heard about is to run SS7 signalling over ISDN-30 connections.

(The ability to do so is largely why phone scammers can fake the calling
number when they annoy you.)

Unless somebody else know of other uses, you can kill it.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
