This time, the patch is removing too many things that are correct. :)

see below to know what to remove and what to keep:

This function should be kept

Above should be kept

these for lines should be removed (they are the one giving the errors
in the logs)

and please keep the rest of the code as is.

Actually, this part is very important because we have no spontaneous
events emitted by features, so we don't know the value of the feature
until we probed it. So please keep this part as mentioned above.
