FWIW I've been running it since whichever version had picture with a dark background and a red daemon head, and I use sysclean frequently. Most of the machines I maintain are remote and the upgrade process copes poorly or very poorly when running out of space. Before sysclean I usually did things like "cd /usr; rm -r share libdata X11R6 include" and looking at file dates/sizes in /usr/lib so it's a big improvement. Different people have worked out different ways to maintain their systems, that's fine.
