Sometimes it is removed promptly; other times it is retained for documentation, rollback safety, or as a staging area for future ideas. In small, iterated projects, leaving dead code in place can be pragmatic: it preserves experiments, offers reference implementations, and reduces the risk of regressions from aggressive pruning. Conversely, dead code increases cognitive load, enlarges attack surface, and can mislead contributors. A responsible maintainer balances these trade-offs through documentation, clear deprecation paths, and well-scoped refactors—practices likely reflected in a project reaching a 1.7.3 stable line.
