It's not strictly needed, and I can be talked out of it pretty easily.
I figured when you "unwind" the bootstrap, you'd want to remove them,
because "back then" they didn't exist. It also keeps you from getting
too confused about which set of objects are the current ones.
Perhaps, but it's sometimes useful if you want to do some specialized
testing to make stage2, then unstage1, build, make stage1, then unstage2.
You don't want those "un" steps to do any rm's.
