It turns out some people are using it. I don't know why, but from time to time they submit bug reports and patches.

So if people are using it, there's no real reason to remove it. If some people don't want it in their version of the kernel, a compile flag works fine.

The only thing that matters is whether people are using it.

If people are not using it, then remove it. If people are using it, leave it in. If somehow it still bothers you (I don't know why), then you can add a compile flag so it is not in your particular kernel.

C is fundamentally not designed to make avoiding them possible

A software engineer says, "Yes, I've developed techniques for avoiding entire classes of bugs in C, but there are a few types I'm still struggling with."

Someone who has not yet developed the engineering mindset immediately comes up with excuses. "We can't do that."

An engineer looks for solutions, not excuses. It's easy to tell the difference once you recognize it.

Comment Are all these data centers being used? (Score 3, Interesting) 60

Black Rock has been building data centers as an investment vehicle. It's not clear whether they are all being used or not.

That is to say, they are definitely not all being used. Whether or not a meaningful percentage of them are being left unused is still an open question.
