Yes, as I tried to explain, each cc-file is scanned for the includes, 
the included header files are scanned for their includes and so on. This 
does not tell you that something is actually used out of these header 
files, but it tells you that for sure nothing is used out of the 
"unreached" files in the core modules.

I agree. I was not suggesting to remove them without any further 
consideration. I only wanted to mention that there are files which are 
not being tested in the core modules themselves. If you are fine with 
that, I am totally happy for you. IMHO of course.

Kind regards
