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.
