Yeah, why don't we try that. In it's current form the concept isn't very useful and arguably is broken which no one has really noticed for years. * codesearch.debian.net has zero users * codesearch on github has zero users * cs.android.com has zero users Only definitions, strace, ltp, and stress-ng that sort of test this functionality. I say we try to deprecate this.
