Almost certainly some, but probably not all that much.  Do highlight any that you find.

| Dear devs,
| 
| I'm trying to dig into GHC code and one thing is wondering me. Does the
| source contain old fragments of code that are not used anymore? Well,
| for such a big project the answer will probably be 'yes', but I'm
| wondering what the scale of this might be. I thought that such leftovers
| could be a bit misleading and I want to know if I should stay alert :)
