    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,
      DaveK
