Comment (by leavengood):

 I will have to look into how states can depend on each other...it seems
 that generally the older states can be deleted with little bad affect
 since that is what people do on their own for this problem.

 nephele: There will definitely be an opt-in setting for this, I guess in
 SoftwareUpdater?

 As for size versus number of states maybe considering size is a better way
 to go...

 Also I have a simple idea for keeping specific states when someone turns
 this on: drop a `keep` file in whatever state directories you want kept.
