Of course it's something that the player doesn't have to take advantage of if they don't want to. Firaxis said that most of the remaining bugs were of this type, and they weren't worried about fixing them.

hi ,

, okay , but saltpeter is still in use today , and removing goods after a certain tech is discovered , well , its bad for trade , it may seems stupid , but ones in a while , a civ ask's for this or that , you dont always want to give it to them , yet you do not want a bad "rep" , so you give them lets say ; saltpeter or iron , ....

have a nice day

In the game Saltpeter is of no use after Tanks and Riflemen/Infantry are available though.

I found (much to my surprise) that saltpeter is need to upgrade pikemen to riflemen (I didn't have a source of saltpeter at the time). Even though I could build riflemen from scratch, I couldn't "upgrade through" the musketman level without the saltpeter.
