Hi Kai, and Nick,
I have a longer post coming, but since Kai's about to start reworking the
patch I'll just chuck in that I'd prefer it if the dead code was deleted
rather than commented-out. I have no problem with the change or the
default state of the switch, after all this is HEAD we're talking about.
cheers,
