Yes indeed, that is a time when I also might want to do such "clean up". 
BUT (and this might be my background as a professional) I would find 
doing things like that SAFER not trying to combine operations.

In other words, I would NOT want to combine "get data over" and "clean 
up" << and during "clean up", if done in stages, I would be wanting to 
make a backup between each stage and test all apps where data had been 
cleaned before moving on.

It is experience having drilled home "mistakes will be made" and so I 
want it isolated, if mistake made must have been between two known 
"fixed points".
