Yes, once or twice a week I change some setting using customize while
using emacs25, and the cleanup is triggered then. I use a few
"applications" in emacs like IRC (circe) and email (notmuch) that have a
fairly dynamic set of settings.

I guess I could migrate the setting of x-select-enable-primary out of
customize and into my init.el. I wonder if maybe there should have been
a period of deprecation before marking the variables obsolete. I guess
that can't be helped now in any case.
