IMHO, it is cleaner to explicitly delete it once it becomes non-functional. Having dead code lying around just slows down compilation and misleads people into thinking that it is functional. If someone wants to resurrect it at a later date, they can always retrieve it from the Attic. --=20 Peter Jeremy --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFE5XTv/opHv/APuIcRAo0OAJ9LhUR+/cPuDlG4Eq279ZCSFluLhQCfeyrw mKLteX/pNuonPmFcaejuXWI= =ZQx+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5--
