My gut feeling is "no," but who knows. Would you want --depclean to delete a user who owns files on your system without some prompt? The safe move is to refuse to do it unless the user explicitly says "I've done whatever is needed" via a variable or FEATURES or whatever. >From the GLEP-design standpoint, I like refusal because that's exactly what we do now: leave all of the users there forever. When I'm trying to convince you that the GLEP is an improvement, that's one less change I have to justify.
