Hi,

> the reason this stuff can't change [... is] backward compatibility.

Thanks, but this is still unclear to me. The required fix for code that would break because of the change I propose, is removal of dead code which looks misleadingly alive. 

Is the backward-compatibility requirement really that strict?
