My gut feeling is "no," but who knows. Would you want --depclean to |
| 10 |
delete a user who owns files on your system without some prompt? The |
| 11 |
safe move is to refuse to do it unless the user explicitly says "I've |
| 12 |
done whatever is needed" via a variable or FEATURES or whatever. |

From the GLEP-design standpoint, I like refusal because that's exactly |
| 15 |
what we do now: leave all of the users there forever. When I'm trying to |
| 16 |
convince you that the GLEP is an improvement, that's one less change I |
| 17 |
have to justify. |
