It does require it.  But in a prior version of the patch, I had both 
ignore-deleted and turbo-liveinst as options which were mutually 
exclusive.  Thus if you really wanted to, you could keep the 
ignore-deleted option, as long as you made the genMinInstDelta call 
conditional upon it.  Thus making the code in liveinst.sh that detects 
the absence of the delta technically not purely legacy.

The sentence at the top there does not reflect a strong opinion.  I can 
see value in speeding up the build (~20-25% if I recall).  But there is 
also some value in the removed complexity.  Your call.
