Right, and at least the last part can be automated. Since this is all web stuff, there could be a link on the main control page called like "Update indexes and show distro removal overview".

Actually, using a special link for this is something that should exist anyway. Because ATM the expiration thing would abort if the distro has already disappeared from the mirrors and cannot be downloaded. Having a special entry mode for cleanup purposes could bypass this, i.e. continue to the cleanup overview even if an update error happened.

I cannot reproduce the part about "Slow Firefox". My PC here is ~7 years old and the cache directory is littered with lots of stuff and still I can use it without any issue in regular FF.
