If one does

        sudo port -f uninstall installed

it appears that each is followed by a "clean".

In the situation that a person was changing neither their hardware (i.e. not 
"retoring" a backup to some new machine) nor changing the installed Mac OS but 
only wishing to "start over" (for example, if they would alter build_arch), 
might it be a mistake to skip

        sudo port clean --work --archive all

or would it be redundant and safe to skip?
