It's an interesting thought; though I'm not sure if it's the best thing
to do.

There's plusses and minuses for keeping and deleting the stages as
soon as possible.  Either way there'll be a group of folks that won't
be happy.

My general feeling is to leave the stage? files until they're either
removed by a make clean, or possibly after a successful 3stage + compare.

I would think the folks that need this would be in the minority, and
there _are_ ways to do this which we could document.
