By purged, Peter means that the gate for the next release will not
carry over the deleted_files/ from the current release.
The deleted_files/ from this release will still be around if one
goes back to look at the old release gate.
So potentially, as time goes on, the ksh93 deleted_files listed in
usr/src/lib/libshell/misc/filelist.txt could be scattered
among different release gates, if more unreferenced files get
added to the original AT&T source.
