Why "Kill your darlings"?
 
#5
There's a saying in 18xx games that this reminds me of: "Date the stock, don't marry it."

The meaning I take from this is, don't get too attached to your own cleverness.

So, who has done this sort of thing?

Mmmm. I think of authors who have outgrown their editors, like Tom Clancy and David Weber.
