Actually, no.   What you really should do if you are going to drop into 'cleanup' mode on this base URI is RE-VALIDATE ALL THE VARIANTS and remove any that return bad response codes but keep the ones that are 'still ok'.   It is possible ( and legal? ) for a COS ( Content Origin Server ) to return a '404' on one variant of an entity but not on another.   I have seen CGI scripts that would do this very thing.   Yours...
