But if it's not a lot of code, would it really accumulate a lot of cruft?

If the code just works as is and doesn't need much attention to keep it working
why not keep it? As long as the code doesn't break anything else what's the
problem with keeping it?

FWIW, the H8 backend in GCC was just recently modernized and improved and converted
to MODE_CC.
