I can imagine special cases being made to delete large files
(e.g., core files) from the remote host after the test is done.
But I can't think of a reason to not treat all other files (binaries,
shlibs, scripts, whatever) identically.
Thus I'd amend "Looks like it's ..." to be
"Looks like it's any file downloaded to the host."
If that means leaving all such files on the remote host,
fine with me.
