Why is it important?
Removing code can improve maintainability (lower complexity), security (smaller attack surface), reliability, and performance (smaller binaries), but has caught little attention
Perspectives
This paper is essentially a call to the community on software variability to devise methods and tools that will facilitate the removal of unneeded features
