What's the argument that it makes debugging harder? Especially if
you aren't using it?
I don't particularly buy the "easier exploitation" argument, either.
You can't create a C function without superuser, and if you've got
superuser there are plenty of ways to run arbitrary code.
I'd agree that there are no desirable features that would motivate
writing new code in V0. But that's not the reason for keeping it;
the reason for keeping it is to avoid unnecessarily breaking
existing extension code.
