Hello,
Thank you for the report.
You tell about 3-4 different issues here, it would be nice if in future
you file separate bug reports, one for each issue.

It does. See section 'FILES'.

Well, depends. It could be used for any archive if the user wants. On
the other hand, if you don't like it, just disable it. I'm not sure what
I could add as rationale besides what the first option already explains.
Do you have any proposal text in mind?

True, it doesn't, but it doesn't say that it will. I guess orphaning is
better handled by other existing archive tools.

True. Thanks. Will be removed in the next upload.
