Hi Alexander, > One of the design goals of the recently committed way of removing obsolete > files was to *not* remove a file which we never had in the base system (I'm > not sure I mentioned this in the commit log). So if an administrator decides > to move something to somewhere in the base system (for whatever reason), it > will stay where it is (and this is good, since this move was done with a > specific purpose). I confirm you didn't mention this in your commit log. It would maybe be a good idea to do a forced commit to precise this, to keep track of this important argument in favor of your solution (IMHO).
