In this particular case for std.uni, it was the potential for there to 
be one at some unknown point in the future. It was just a giant time 
bomb waiting to go off.

And you know what? If that table generator had been deleted completely, 
it could have taken us months to reproduce from scratch. Imagine how 
people would react if we couldn't release dmd for that length of time, 
due to something so "unimportant" to a lot of people.
