Tree bloat. Why not make things 'smaller' given that the things that make it bigger are useless (un-maintained, un-compilable, etc..) given that the sources to those objects are still publically available in the CVS tree to anyone who is interested in them. Obviously it's more difficult to look at them now, but should the majority of the people using the system by 'penalized' (wasting their disk space, etc..) to allow access to old, stale code? (My answer is in agreement with Garrett. Remove it!) Nate
