I don't object, but I have a questions: Under which circumstances
will "foo" be removed then?  "got up"?

I'm mildly worried about obsolete directories sticking around.  The
classic problem is that "make obj" creates an "obj" symlink, which
means the directory isn't empty, which means it isn't pruned by
"cvs up -P" etc. even once all files under version control have
been removed.  And I seem to recall that there was at least one
instance in the history of OpenBSD where the persistence of an
obsolete directory caused a build problem.
