It's not supposed to be there. It was leftover from composer.

So should I simply delete it? Is it useless? – s.webbandit Nov 10 '12 at 09:46

Pretty much. If you use composer (to install phpunit or something), stuff will be put there. – zombor Nov 13 '12 at 01:18

It is where you can drop external libraries for use with Kohana.

For example, this is where I put my 3rd party Twitter API.

May be irrelevant but for newbies to KOHANA 3.3, that Vendor directory is meant for extending/adding custom vendor based functionality, similar to the plug-ins concept. And it's not new addition to kohana 3.3.

Also as @zombor mentioned it's a-left-over in DOCROOT.

Rest is all clear in my opinion.
