Because we have been having problems with file locking issues, and need the output of smbstatus to debug and figure out who's got what locked and why they can't save. Aside from being un-tidy, these entries are becoming stale-dated and invalid anyhow; they stay there and make the output of smbstatus full of 'untidy' data which gets in the way of us solving the real problem - why a user can't save or is seeing an un-opened file as locked when it's not.
