A good candidacy check is how much time we spend maintaining it versus 
how much time we use it. If kicker breaks down, we obviously will repair 
it since it is a highly used object. If something like kpilot breaks and 
it will require a ridiculous amount of work, then it should be a 
candidate for removal. An application like kcpuload breaking? well 
luckily it was just a small compiler error and we can fix it up quickly 
and keep going. If its' going to hang us up, hang it out to dry.

Eh?
