Obviously not worth breaking even 2 users. Like legit just leave the fucking code alone.
The kernel is full of useless crumbs, that collectively could add up to make a substantial difference. It may not be a good idea for devs to spend time looking for unused cruft but in the even they stumble upon something that isn't used, it should be removed. We can't just let the kernel get infinitely big.Last edited by schmidtbag; 06 December 2024, 08:12 PM.

But hey you removed that 2000 byte file and broke the 2 users in the world who still relied on it. Congratulations, time well spent.
