Agreed, help in remembering to remove them is needed.

I am also concerned with the repeated grep-and-delete too.  The last one
of these I had to do was quite tangled.  There were multiple feature
flags interacting with one-another and flagged and non-flagged code
intertwining.  Combined with the fact that so many tests had to change
in parallel meant that I didn't have much of a safety net.

Perhaps that experience was an aberration.
