I never really wanted to add it at all. There is/was some case for
wanting to remove sstate objects and ensure something really does
rebuild from source. When sstate was new and had more issues, people
really wanted it and I was pushed into having it exist.

I understand why people want it although it should never really need to
be used.

There are some users who do use it regularly and they really need to
think about why and whether they need to. Personally, I don't use it.

Cheers,

Richard
