No, it's just an rm that has been ongoing for some weeks now. It seems 
to pick files directories in a random order and checking the disk usage 
takes hours if not days. So no update. But I want to move the t at h server 
to anther machine anyway and the legacy tiles won't be moved, so they 
are likely to go away soon. I am waiting for the DNS switch to happen 
and then to switch over the t at h clients. As that is out of my hands, I 
cannot give any time estimates...
