Tom, I know it's a lot hell of code, but you shouldn't feel too attached 
to it anymore. If they are not needed, they are better off for all 
purposes. It's already difficult to explain what all the available caches 
(revlibs, cachedrevs) are to keep a useless one (pristines).

I'm all for killing them from the code too unless you are totally opposed 
to it (and have good reasons to convince me ;) I volunteer to rip them 
from the code if you accept it.
