Oh my god, you mean they just float around until someone uses them?
Does that mean that there are huge drifts of goto's piling up against
a wall somewhere?  I can just bet someone's looking at them thinking
'well dang, I'm sure these things'll come in handy for something'.

Maybe they end up in a remote corner of the country where some poor
bastard has to furiously produce spagetti code to stop them blocking
the roads.
