For me, VARTEXMF was an option for storing "variable" data, which
are the formats, fonts (if VARTEXFONTS is not set) and config files
which can be set up using texconfig.  I have never considred it as
delete-when-convenient.

teTeX users will at least loose their modifications they have done to
the configuration when deleting the VARTEXMF tree.
