You have the same problem if there is an existing reader open, so
what is the difference? You can't remove the segments there either.

Remind me, why do we have to update the segments file except at

I'm sure there's a good reason, and that's central to this
discussion.
If segments are removed because of a merge, a new reader coming along
will have problems opening the index if the segments file isn't
updated to reflect that.
One could keep around all old segments until a close() but that would
cost disk space.
