If it's public static final then javac could remove that call. But since
it's copied you would need a clean build to get it working. public static
final values are copied into the class so changing them and recompiling
isn't enough.

Thanks for the answer. Oh shame, I thought proguard already did this a
decade ago? I mean if the compiler is even slightly smart and a variable is
declared *final*, then its not really runtime state I would have thought
and therefore should be removed. Would it be the same if you did something
Build-time pruning does not make use of any runtime state for determining
code paths. Therefore changing the value of Prefs.DEBUG would have no
effect.
