Adam Slagell commented on BIT-1047:
-----------------------------------

I don't see a decision here, but what do people think about renaming rather 
than deleting. Say to <filename>.old or <filename>.$DATE

We can push this off to implement till the next release, but it would be nice 
to have a clear decision.

> Delete old scripts before installing new ones

> People keep having problems when they install a new Bro version 
> over the installation of an old one because scripts that have disappeared in 
> the new version will keep sticking around from the previous installation. 
> We should simply remove the old scripts/base and scripts/policy before 
> installing anything new. People aren't supposed to edit in there so that 
> should be safe.
