Yes, in theory. In practice, you&#x27;d not only remove this function but all of its calls. When somebody down the road realizes that they want this function back, they have to (A) realize it&#x27;s in the VC history and (B) not only get back the function but all the calling points. That is so much of a pain and potentially error-prone that leaving this function in for a while with a comment might be the more practical approach.
