Well thats good, if they are not in the MusicBrainz db they are no use 
to anyone anyway. So does the Musicbrainz db need to throw out valid 
(but less used) trms to further prune the MusicBrainz Server, or do we 
just want to remove trms from database  that are wrong (links to tracks 
which they shoudldnt be linking to).
