That would be ideal.  We usually try and refrain from modifying
existing files.  We could force them to be re-created, if needed, but
it's messy to do (e.g. the way things are setup, this will inevitably
involve a time window during which things are broken, and of course it
would require figuring out which ones need to be re-created).
