| However, this means that update builds need manual intervention to

| note to UPDATING about this.
This is why I'd like to add a new keyword in the sets lists, like
"obsolete" is - probably "optional" to mark files that aren't installed
by the build, but might exist, and should simply be ignored if
found - it isn't an error for them to exist, but nor is it an error
for them to be absent. Such files don't go in any of the constructed
sets files (whether they happen to exist or not).
Or since there is no particular set to list them in (as they belong
in none) perhaps an additional lists file to contain just these
optional files, (to keep the format, they'd still need some keyword,
so perhaps still "optional" - but excluding them from being added
to all sets .*z files would be automatic, as none would be built from
that one.
