This is true, I put that in long ago for the queue casting. So if you
run 'sorcery queue', followed by 'cast --queue' (or any higher command
that has these steps in there) it will remove successful as you go and
let you know what is still in the queue (check
/var/log/sorcery/queue/install). 

I was a big fan of this for all casts; first put the list of requested
spells in the queue/install and then cast the queue so that if anything
happened you would have them. That is not yet in sorcery as the opening
of the cast system is a bit complex, as I am sure Andrew can tell you
now... ;-)

Anyhow, if you are casting from a queue, then it is always left in the
queue if you break it off (no telling what breaking an install section
of a cast off will do though, as Andrew stated!).
