I haven't checked the code but i thought the same thing also until this 
happened to me. I do know i had just done scribe update before the gaze prune 
and it did loose a lot of sources i had previously downloaded. I have no 
understanding of why? it used to just delete the beta versions of software i 
had saved to /var/spool/sorcery but not updated the spell yet but this time 
it deleted the whole of kde and most other x11 apps as i dont have them on my 
server.
 I know i must have fallen, bumped my head and imagined the whole thing, 
including the bill from my isp (from when i started a sorcery rebuild later 
that night and woke in the morning to find it had downloaded a gig worth of 
tarballs and put me WAY over my monthly limit) so i guess i should apologise 
for dragging all of you into my nightmare...
