+1.

It creates an ever-increasing amount of flotsam in the gate, and thus
a storage and time penalty that every single ON-based workspace must
pay.  It's waste with benefit to few -- and likely nobody at all.

Having a single file called "upstream-excluded-unused.txt" with a list
of such unneeded files would be fine.  It'd help you during resync
efforts (anything that appears to be new and isn't on that list is new
stuff to look at and consider for inclusion if needed).

Otherwise, please don't add lard.  We've got plenty.
