Is Fleecing Fixed?

I looked through the 8.3 release notes. I think they fixed fleecing.

Fiona said this was the problem when garbage fleecing files were getting left on my drive.
That's a bad thing, because it fails subsequent backups till you delete the garbage fleecing file.

Increase the timeouts for attaching or detaching new drives to QEMU (issue 5440).
This fixes an issue where detaching a fleecing image after a backup could fail on a busy host.

Hi,
that was a related improvement, i.e. making it less likely to end up with left-over images, but doesn't help with cleaning up already left-over images. The relevant patch series to improve cleanup of fleecing images still needs to be applied: https://lore.proxmox.com/pve-devel/20250127112923.31703-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com/
