Line 156: CStdString strReferencesXML = strGoodPath + "\\references.xml";
The whole line should be removed from trunk/XBMC/guilib/SkinInfo.cpp
references.xml has not been used in ages

What if you want to just deprecate something but have it available for a couple of subsequent releases before removing it?
Most software companies will not just remove something that may cause issues for some users. Advance notice is given and that item is still in source but deprecated and will subsequently be removed in a release or two later.
While that may not be the case with XBMC, it is common practice.
