I am not a batman-adv developer but I am definitely pro cleanup. There aren't 
many known people which write code against the current version who wants to 
merge with trunk. And I think it is better to remove the clutter now instead 
of waiting until more "chaos" was created.
You should check out the scripts inside Andrew Morton's kernel[1,2]. I checked 
them some time ago and they were far better then the ones inside the vanilla 
kernel. I think most of that changes are already merged, but I don't know in 
which version.
