   > With this PR, the breaking change is to set cleanExpiredFiles to false if 
the table has more than one ref.
   
   No, the operation will fail if cleanExpiredFiles is set and there are 
multiple retained refs. It shouldn't break the existing linear history case and 
should be backwards compatible but please report in case you ran into any 
issues! 
   
   See this 
[comment](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4578#discussion_r863337777) . 
To do a correct removal of files with multiple references, a reachability 
analysis needs to be done which requires quite a bit more implementation.
