if you rm /*/bin/_* /*/bin/*/_* at boot time
in termrc or your file server's cpurc
(*not* the one that cpu servers booting from the file server run)
then that is safe.
it's not safe to remove them immediately after pull.
the whole point of the rename is so that if (say) you
have acme running and you download a new acme,
then if the demand loading tries to get a page of the
acme binary, it gets the one you were running and not
the new one, which may not match what is already loaded.
