Sounds reasonable.  But you would ALSO need to test it in regards to
the business features.  ISTR some of the bad interaction was there,
but it's been a while.

I BELIEVE the code is all within an #ifdef (or maybe even a runtime
check).  I'd have to go look in the Scrub*.c files to see for sure,
but anyone else could look just as easily.  ;)
