Hi,
recently I noticed by accident that the variable
`gnus-article-check-size' is mentioned exactly once in the Gnus source
code: in its defvar form.  That seems to indicate it's not used anymore.

I got nosy and searched for variable names which were not used anywhere
in the code.  I found 93 names (and some more functions).  Before I post
all these names in which libraries do I also have to look for usage of
variables?  I can't believe that so much variables should be garbage.
