FWIW I've been running it since whichever version had picture with a
dark background and a red daemon head, and I use sysclean frequently.
Most of the machines I maintain are remote and the upgrade process
copes poorly or very poorly when running out of space. Before sysclean
I usually did things like "cd /usr; rm -r share libdata X11R6 include"
and looking at file dates/sizes in /usr/lib so it's a big improvement.
Different people have worked out different ways to maintain their
systems, that's fine.
