Hello,

This is both a general question and specific example of removal of
old users and groups.

With the release of 6.7, rebound(8) got tedued[0] ;^)
However, there were no specific instructions regarding removal of
_rebound user and group, or the /etc/rebound.conf file, in the
upgrade notes - I had the latter added to my /etc/sysclean.ignore
file and didn't notice it until today.

Grepping for '{user,group}del' under 'faq/upgrade*', shows a handful
of examples - some are straight after a user or a group has been
retired[1], others when the UID/GID got recycled[2].

Probably too little too late but, should the 6.7 upgrade page get:

        # rm /etc/rebound.conf
        # userdel _rebound
        # groupdel _rebound

instructions added, i.e. need I bother you with a diff, or will you
simply add it once the UID/GID gets recycled?
