There is a part about reusing old resources, but if something becomes irrelevant, it is replaced with extreme prejudice. There is no place for legacy code in open source, which is both a quality and a problem. The code is clearer and more stable (in medium and long term) because of this, but it might be less stable at short term (while change is ongoing) and backward compatibility suffers ("upgrade or die" seems to be the motto of library developers).
