It is being used for optimization. Just have a look at the table on http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/Philipp%27s%20TODO%20list. There's a 10% code size reduction between sdcc revision #6464 and #6604 for the z80 port. Compared to sdcc 2.7.0, released just four years ago, code size is down by over 20%. However unused and unecessary things are binding manpower: There's more code to break when making changes, or alternatively more code to understand to not break anything. The users have to go through documentaion for such stuff when looking for the things useful for them. Thus, removing feature that no one uses and that provide no advantage over other existing alternatives is something that needs some manpower in the short term. But in the long term it saves manpower, which can be used for implementing and maintaining the useful stuff.
