1. that doesn't delete nearly 90% of X, unless you also do it for the font and serv and whatnot files. 2. it requires you have the base sets available, which is frequently a hassle. 3. by the time you correct for points 1 and 2, you're getting dangerously close to having a self destruct tool. 4. as a general personal rule, i don't feed people pipelines that delete files. see point 3.
