Your approach seems so thorough that it makes me wonder how you handle the inevitable "Situation Theta" when it happens.

(where "Situation Theta" is defined as the set of all 'features' in the code introduced for reasons unknown, even to the original developer(s) at the time of introduction, but left in place anyway, for whatever reason, or no reason at all)

Get enough "Thetas" and you may wind up 'rewriting' features that were never really implemented to begin with. I hope *you* got the credit for those. ;)
