The current state of bacteriophage genomics shows that the genetic diversity of the population is very high, that phages have been actively evolving for billions of years with active engagement of horizontal genetic exchange, and that their genomes are consequently pervasively mosaic in their architectures.

The possibility that some of these small genes provide no selective benefit to the phage that carries them cannot be ruled out, but their generally orderly arrangement on the genome, with good translation start sequences argues against their being disorganized junk DNA. An intriguing possibility, whether they are providing a selective benefit or not, is that these genes could serve as a gene nursery, where novel genetic functions could be built by recombination and mutation among genetic sequences that have no essential role in phage survival.
