You'll see it if you are root and someone else used it.  Even rm
-f as root does not remove uunlink-able files, although rm -f
as root silently removes uchg'able files and rm as root removes
uchg'able files if you answer `y' to the prompt.  Similarly for
`find -delete' run as root.  `find' doesn't know about the new
flags, so it can only remove draconianly immutable files :-).
