I also agree that the current system is...extravagant.  'litter files' also
seems like an appropriate term for the thousands of unnecessary files that
clutter my LDraw library.

Personnally, I'd like my library to only have actual parts; no ~Moved to files
or other 'litter files'.  This would probably break some of my Models, where I
didn't use the correct part, or an unnofficial part that had the wrong part
number.  However, I already have to figure out the 'right' part number for these
when I order real parts from Bricklink.

Could we release a parts-only library that does not contain the 'litter files'?
All new LDraw downloads could have this library with the option to add the
'litter files'.

I do like the ~Renamed for keeping the subparts clean for the library of parts
and 'litter files'.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Scott W.
