Description
The BarrierSet class has lots of has_* and needs_* methods, none of which is used anywhere, except (some) in asserts (which is bogus too), and in one instance in a stub generator (which will be refactored to use the same paradigm as elsewhere). Those methods clutter the BarrierSet interface and need to be implemented in subclasses for no good reason.
Comments
After discussion found out that Erik ��sterlund works on the same.
