Yes. Our general preference is to zap code, if only because it's so damn 
unusual.

When one out of a hundred patches actually has more removals than 
additions, we make a big deal out of it ("Look - I actually simplified 
things"). For the 99 other patches we never size in polite company.

Oh well. But every time we add lines, we do it with the _best_ intentions.
