+=head3 remove stale perldeltas
+
+For the first RC release that is ONLY for a BLEAD-FINAL, the perldeltas
+from the BLEAD-POINT releases since the previous BLEAD_FINAL should have
+now been consolidated into the current perldelta, and hence are now just
+useless clutter. They can be removed using:
+
+ $ git rm <file1> <file2> ...
+
+For example, for RC0 of 5.16.0:
+
+ $ cd pod
+ $ git rm perldelta515*.pod
+
+All mention to them should also be removed. Currently the files that
+need to be edited for this task are F<MANIFEST>, F<pod.list>,
+F<pod/perl.pod>, and F<win32/pod.mak> (including C<.man>, C<.html>, and
+C<.tex> entries for each removed pod).
+
+Then build a clean perl and do a full test
+
+ $ git status
+ $ git clean -dxf
+ $ ./Configure -Dusedevel -des
+ $ make
+ $ make test
+
+Once all tests pass, commit your changes.
