I wouldn’t mind seeing all but “extras” go away.  You should be able to run 
your build system’s clean command, then run “fossil extras” to learn what files 
your build system still needs to be told about.

You should never have to use “fossil clean” in a project repo managed by a 
properly set-up build system.
