Thanks for being considerate. One potential benefit that we might gain by applying these clean-ups also to 'maint' is that it would allow us to keep 'master' and 'maint' more in sync, so it would make it more likely for unrelated bugfixes we may have in the future in the vicinity to also apply cleanly to both. By definition, the variables removed are not used, so it would make an interesting situation if such a future bugfix needs to look at them (sort of turning the changes in this series into category 1 "we should have been looking at them, but we didn't"), but at that point, we'd be resurrecting these variables we drop here, so it won't be really hurting us. And if such a bugfix does not need to look at them, then textual context that might be caused by not applying these to 'maint' but keeping them only to 'master' would not be a big deal, either. So I can go either way, but I am tempted to leave them outside 'maint' --- at least that is my current thinking.
