I can't answer to the automated or not part, partially because I'm missing the rest of the thread. I can tell you that because our one server with the thumbs on it was getting dangerously low on space (and still is), I've been purging a number of thumbs each day that are not linked to on our projects. People viewing those images again get new thumbs, with whatever side effects that entails.
I've been asked today by some commons folks to filter out all images with certain exif orientation data in it from the list, so I'm looking at that right now. If the percentage is small enough I'll do that, though this does not resolve the problem in the mid or long term. Thumbs are meant to be temporary data; we should not rely on any given thumb or set of thumbs remaining around forever.
