Yes, but it is a hard thing to plan around. Can you really know who might want to buy you? Good advice from an old boss: DO NOT include words like kludge, bug

Good advice from an old boss: DO NOT include words like kludge, bug, garbage, or swear words in code or checkin comments. All production code has kludges, bugs, and fscking garbage in it but making it easy for a due diligence auditor to grep it can't help.
[True story, at MusicBlvd.com I was ordered to write a SUID root program to move html files from staging to production directories. I protested but wrote it anyway and named it kludge.c. After we were bought by CDNow I found out they had a SUID root bash shell on _every single frontend machine_. Kludge indeed.]
