Hi,

tramp-cleanup-some-buffers is intended as frame to be customized for
different use cases.

You can write a wrapper function for your package, which binds
tramp-cleanup-some-buffers-hook with proper functions, and which calls
tramp-cleanup-some-buffers then.

It is a new command of Emacs 30, so it is not very known to
users. There's much room to customize it for different use cases.

I've seen this also today. Hmm, perhaps we can move this call to a hook
function, added by default, which you can suppress in your own binding
of tramp-cleanup-some-buffers-hook.

This should also be configurable.

Yes, please do. I'm interested in pimp up this command with alternative
scenarios.

Best regards, Michael.
