I tend to disagree. We accumulate more and more cruft over time so it
is good to be continually hacking away at it. These little build
breaks happen occasionally but they are trivially and quickly fixed.
If a small minority of these cleanups require a followup patch which
consumes a global ten person minutes then that seems an acceptable
price to pay. Says the guy who pays most of that price :)
