I see, don't know the reason but maybe not so important right now
the removing thumbs part of the doc is very thin and probably not implemented
anywhere, some other parts could also need some reading and modification 

meanwhile, I moved and merged all my thumb caches to the image work dir on the
server and symlinked it for now on all machines, and that gave a real better
performance in comparison to how it was, the thumbs are also compatible between
the different OSs, even FreeBSD, so far that is for me, but hard to suggest it
as solution to average users

certainly, the doc and its contributors never previewed that people might have
a very large number of image files, means that the actual thumb generation
process is too slow  for handling it

I hope that the "cleaning after N days" isn't so difficult to add and that it
is there some day 

thanks for the link
