I was worried that in some workflow people may have to use "update-ref -d" all the time because our Porcelain allows them to create some ref without giving a clean way to remove it (e.g. "branch" and "tag" allow creation and deletion with -d/-D, so they are Ok, but I was worried there might be something else I overlooked). Manually cleaning up what an experimental version of Porcelain left behind does not fall into category of "normal user has to do this all the time", so I do not have to worry.
