And either delete the egg, or not.
That file's fairly cryptic and the chances of screwing something up there I think are higher than in the more user-oriented buildout.cfg. Also, does deleting egg A in easy_install.pth cause any eggs that were installed as dependencies of A but are no longer needed to go as well?
