Never remove obsolete entries unless you added them eroneously (i.e. the
file is actually still installed but accidently marked as obsolete).

The obsolete entries are used to remove files no longer needed on system
updates. We do not expect users to update to every major release, so
if, say, someone updates from NetBSD 0.9 to NetBSD 8, the file should
still be removed.
