Whaaaat? ;)  cleaning up the code won't have any effect on the system's
stability or -Wall'ability.  lifting the feature ban will introduce
a truck load of new and funky stuff which will charge around smashing
plates and throwing up on your sofa.  There are still bugs and IMHO
the server is not *very* stable.

Ay.
