There was something the other day on Slashdot about LibreOffice
developers removing deprecated, unused, or just plain dead code from the
codebase:

http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/01/14/008236/code-cleanup-culls-libreoffice-cruft
http://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/3607-drive-to-remove-unused-code-in-libreoffice.html

Maybe I'm too or prematurely optimistic, but a few cycle of development
that are focused on optimizing instead of just throwing more hardware at
things would be nice.
