Mongrel users - Mar 2007 - "mongrel_rails stop" leaving undeleted .pid files

I''m looking at implementation of Mongrel::Stop.run:

    def run
      if @force
        @wait.to_i.times do |waiting|
          exit(0) if not File.exist? @pid_file
          sleep 1
        end

        Mongrel::send_signal("KILL", @pid_file) if File.exist?
@pid_file
      else
        Mongrel::send_signal("TERM", @pid_file)
      end
    end

and a question arises: is there any good reason not to rm_f(@pid_file) after
sending that SIGKILL? More likely than not, this is how the PID files are
left undeleted.
