When? It removes everything it needs to. If the host sends more
status information, that is not a problem with bbrm, but the client.
The only issue I know of is that the command doesn't remove
any related $BBHOME/www/notes entries. I changed bbrm
to remove those, and I would imagine if another version
of BB ever gets out from Quest, this change would be
in that.

Yep - causes most issues.

Absolutely no need to do this. I have a BBDISPLAY uptime
of more than a year, and I remove hosts all the time.

That works unless your hostname is a substring of another
hostname. Then you've just removed those as well.

If you chose to do #2, yes.
