Well, I introduced these textures and models in the first place, I also have a 
pretty good idea what textures Stuart's cloud system uses, I have looked at the 
weather AI scenarios for a long time, so basically this is rather safe up-front 
because I have a good knowledge of what weather system uses what, and all I had 
to do is to make sure that there's no corner of the weather system which I had 
overlooked, so I removed the files and simply tested for two months without 
them.

If you ask me, removing *anything* from the distribution is highly non-trivial, 
because any model/aircraft/... developer could have thought of something you 
committed as useful and used it for his own creation. It's just that cloud 
textures have limited use for anything else, so the corner which I had to 
search isn't so large.
