It doesn't. anything not enabled by default becomes essentially
unmaintained.

Look at Xnest and dmx. They started being somewhat broken but quite easily
fixable and then got worse. AFAICT, now both are at a point where it needs
some serious time investment to fix them up again - delaying the point until
they will get fixed even further. I venture that if we had kept them enabled
most of it would have been fixed on the way (you may rightly point out that
was me who disabled Xnest. doesn't mean I still think it's a good idea)

It's bad enough that we don't (or can't) test everything. anything you throw
out of the compiler tests is on a downhill slope.

Cheers,
  Peter
