Count me in the "remove it" camp. The last thing I want is to have my system compromised by a buffer overrun in an easter egg. I'd imagine especially more so for the maintainers just from the potential embarassment alone!

Easter eggs and free software Posted Feb 9, 2006 9:19 UTC (Thu) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link] Yeah, I correspond with this comment. It's likely poorly reviewed code if it's hidden functionality. Correctness in mainline functionality is hard enough to come by. I have no interest in code that's almost never used, and certainly not well reviewed.
If there's _any_ code that can be cut from a project without sacrificing important functionality, I'd like to see it go. Easter eggs are an obvious candidate.
