I use a central vanilla/original installation to sync up multiple real
game servers.
People who do symlinking probably already do this.
It means I only have to download from Valve once, per game, instead of
for each game server. In my case, I have five real TF2 game servers,
and one central base installation.
If you are a GSP and want to make setup of new servers quick, you
probably do this.
You would want to run this on a customized server if, for some reason,
you wanted to restore it to it's original form.

Well, wouldn't it delete any and all custom content then (even maps)? I
don't think that this would be a good thing, but I agree that SteamCMD
could be better at cleaning up dead things.

Dear Valve
When SteamCMD is used to update an existing game server installation,
please add an optional argument which will delete all unknown files.
Basically, I want rsync -a --delete.
There have been a number of times in the past when files have been removed
from upstream, but those removals/changes don't get propagated down. These
files end up abandoned.
This will make it so that I don't have to download an entirely new
installation every couple of months, just to make sure it's really clean.
Thanks for your consideration
