Volker Mische commented on COUCHDB-1358:
The reason was simplicity. No new conf variable etc.
With the indexer refactor (which is is trunk) it's not an issue anymore.
I can fully understand if there's no good reason for CouchDB to apply this
patch. But it made sense to have it tracked somewhere at least.

> Currently all files in the view directory that are not used by any View group
> are deleted by the _view_cleanup endpoint. If other indexers (like GeoCouch)
> store indexes in the same directory, they get deleted as well.
> The attached patch changes the bahaviour and only deletes files ending with
> ".view". Leftovers from compaction are deletes as well as they end with
> ".compact.view".
