All,

As we ponder moving our source code over to Apache in the next month or two, I 
thought this would be a great opportunity for us to have a code clean up drive. 
 Looking through the code base it is apparent that we have some code atrophy.  
As we have re-organized, rewritten, or replaced functionality, in many cases 
the former code has been left in the code base.

Dead code is a threat to the code based since it a) has to be maintained, b) 
has the potential to break, c) confuses new developers.  I suggest that we take 
this opportunity to look at the areas of code we work with and remove any 
legacy code that is no longer needed.  Of course I would suggest checking with 
others before just removing large bits of code, that you yourself didn't write.

Thanks,

Michael
