the problem you have with them not deleteing automaticly may be in the
client (node) def. You have to make sure
Backup Delete Allowed?: Yes is set. do a q node xxxxx f=d and verify.
If it is not set, even if they product issues a delete it will not
occur.

Don't worry about that.  They don't.

as in, they don't delete what they're supposed to, they keep all sorts
of crud they know they aren't supposed to. We've got an issue open
with them since forever ago.

We've taken to periodically switching node names, and then blowing
away the old one.   Eugh.

I think that's the best plan.
