You know, every now and then I come across some comment like that from 6 years ago that is clearly no longer applicable and I go and remove the hack... feels really good, but I don't think anyone will just go around looking for these trying to get rid of hacks as there's ALWAYS more important things to do... the hack will probably remain mostly harmless there for decades to come :D so why would we spend time on that other than by happenstance, like I've just mentioned?!
- brundolf 5y agoI mean it's really satisfying to do, and if the originator did make the thing easy to remove, then it doesn't take away much time from other priorities
