No, they don't. Only if the LINT kernel options them in. No one runs the LINT kernel anyway. > Because they bloat the source tree with useless code?

If it *is* implemented elsewhere, then I have no problem diking out one copy in favor of the other. (BTW: I think that XNS is mostly duplicated elsewhere, which is to say, it's not the code doing the duplicating).
