It's particularly with the lack of test results that that situation becomes
a problem. It's not about "removing something that works fine because it may
rot in the future" _as such_; it's about removing something that we don't even
know if it works or not, because in the absence of test results we will not
notice when that hypothetical future-when-it-doesn't-work becomes "now".

No, I don't think we can assume that; I think we can only infer that, if we
see no testresults, there are no /developers/.

Well, we'll cross that bridge *if* we come to it, but, as Joseph points out,
there haven't been any test results in over a year.
