Deleting code shouldn't be this hard, by logging how often a piece of code is being invoked in production one can start planning purges of unused dead code. It has to be done carefully but by no means it is so complex that it shouldn't be done. Dead code is often a negative for maintenance, understanding and performance. With version control one can always go back and recover deleted code that proves to be useful later on.
