Yeah. It's actually why it hasn't already been done. The extra
unused variables don't actually do any harm...

The best time to do this would be during 'development cycle',
when a new Slackware stable has just been released, and the repo
is closed while we port all the builds over (fix compile errors,
remove builds that were included in the new Slackware, etc).

Unfortunately that means, no time soon. We all have our guesses of
when we expect a new Slackware, but nobody knows...
