Yeah... Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't seem to be worth the
lines of code. The entry is going to be junked anyways on recent
filesystems. With the optimization being for the last entry in the dir,
removing it shouldn't cause any kind of increase in junked entries in
the event that this occurs. Looks good to me:
