I use it via cleanall to be sure I'm building something as if it had never been built before. I share sstate between a number of projects (I'm calling where you run bitbake from a project), and sometimes just want to be sure there's no "contamination".

I never really wanted to add it at all. There is/was some case for wanting to remove sstate objects and ensure something really does rebuild from source. When sstate was new and had more issues, people really wanted it and I was pushed into having it exist. I understand why people want it although it should never really need to be used. There are some users who do use it regularly and they really need to think about why and whether they need to. Personally, I don't use it. Cheers, Richard
