On this definition, why do we have any of it in our source tree?
Interesting but unmaintained side things can live quite happily
elsewhere (other peoples' git forks, blog posts, whatever).
If we care about a bit of code enough to keep it in our source
tree we ought to care about it enough to properly document
and test it and give it a suitable place to live.
thanks
