   So the analogy with transaction logs was messing with a system’s state 
without fully understanding the consequences. You do it at your own risk, and 
file structures shouldn’t be optimised to simplify manual actions.
   
   I agree that the exact order of the segment file changing doesn’t create a 
correctness problem, but it does make a very worthwhile optimisation brittle. 
My concern is that this optimisation is always an optimisation and doesn’t 
break for silly reasons.
   
   _Clean_ is a very subjective term. It means different things to different 
people. Files with different suffixes in the same directory as the segments 
does not feel _unclean_ to me.
