We can't remove it on upgrade due to it being a mounted and in-use filesystem (so the mountpoint can't be rmdir'ed). We could potentially clean it up on reboot, the exception being when / is read-only. There was a reason why we didn't do that, but I can't remember off the top of my head what the reason was. It might have been to avoid breaking scripts relying on it, but that's done now. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
