I came across Node.specialize() which does not seem to be called elsewhere, and I cannot guess at its purpose.
I ran vulture (a static analyzer for dead code), trimmed the output to omit things I know were being used (some functions/attributes are used solely in Python 2), and found these unused names:

Aside from isBootstrapped() which we discussed previously and are likely going to use, is there any code that stands out as unnecessary or dead?
Hm. Of these:
isInExpectedDirInfoDocs looks like it might once have done something useful.
configure and restart and wait_for_bootstrap are all in use; they are invoked by name, from the command line, at the end of runConfigFile, where it says `return getattr(network, verb)()`.
I think the rest are likely to be unused.
