If there is genuinely no way of keeping the system clean without some
user intervention, then certainly there is a use for such a program.
It's a little dangerous I guess because there if such a program
exists, then it might be difficult to reserve its use strictly for
situations where it is impossible for the developers to effect the
cleanup in the upgrade process.

But this thread so far has been about the design of the application,
rather than whether its existence is justified or not.
