If one does

	sudo port -f uninstall installed

it appears that each is followed by a "clean".

In the situation that a person was changing neither their hardware (i.e. not "retoring" a backup to some new machine) nor changing the installed Mac OS but only wishing to "start over" (for example, if they would alter build_arch), might it be a mistake to skip

	sudo port clean --work --archive all

or would it be redundant and safe to skip?
