I tend to agree with Matt on this one.  Repo-bloat caused by worthless
stuff is annoying.  But increasing the correctness or modernizing or style
fixing etc is IMHO worth it.  IMHO, the same goes for things like __P() and
function declarations and definitions.  I feel that any repo cost is well
worth it in order to bring the code up to scratch with todays expectations.
Once register is removed, it wont come back - it is not an endless
tail-chasing type thing like whitespace fixes etc.  Once it is fixed, it
stays fixed.

Cheers,
-Peter
