If I violated some rule by checking these in, and I can see how the diffs are in fact dead code, then the fact that they are not cleaned up yet shouldn't be used as an excuse to put more useless files into the gate. To be honest, I'm starting to regret not finding the time to get an exception to the single delta rule and getting the history in that way. -jan
