I love deleting unused code
2 comments

Deleting whole deprecated features is even better. Often it's an indication of a modular architecture and proper upgrade path when an old, unused piece of code has been superseded without breaking any major parts of the whole system.
Well, this is not exactly cleaning up old legacy code. Its more of undoing a patch that should haven not been merged in the first place.
