 == Why is this an issue?
 
-There is no good excuse for an empty class. If it's being used simply as a common extension point, it should be replaced with an ``++Interface++``. If it was stubbed in as a placeholder for future development it should be fleshed-out. In any other case, it should be eliminated.
