That's the plan! I'm in the process of weeding out obsolete hacks in
the LSR and the appearance of failures can be a clue. The main reason
I'm submitting this is because all segfaults are considered Very Evil
and need to be dealt with.

Of course, trying to figure out how these hacks work and whether they
can be done better now is the hard part. Expect a few more questions
on -user in the near future!
