Seconded for preserving the 418 teapot.

FWIW; I have seen it used in a number of real-world contexts. Wikipedia 
may not be the best reference, but its page on 418 [1] links to several 
instances of actual use if you want running code to justify an IANA 
registration for the status, methods, scheme, headers and media-type's 
outlined in the two teapot RFC's.
