Imagine a time keeping system where employees regularly enter their hours and schedule time off. But somewhere is a button or screen that gets used once a week called "run payroll". Aside from being periodic and not available to everyone, no metrics can capture how important it is.

Never the less, my favorite thing to do with code is running over it with the delete key. Just be careful about what gets it ;-)

that's a great example!

And this is why the users are the ultimate deciders - or at least should be - what features ought to be removed, rather than the developers.
