I doubt I'll ever feel the need to look at the GCC code for example. Sure, it won't hurt a thing (other than your ability to 'make world'). If you're adventurous, you could save your custom kernel config files, delete all of /usr/src, and re-install the kernel sources. Restore your custom config files and you'll be back to a normal system, minus all of the unneeded source. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
