If those were to be removed from .hgignore then there would be a high
likelihood of someone doing "hg addremove" and inadvertently tracking them.
The purpose of .hgignore is to prevent inadventently tracking files that
shouldn't be tracked.

"hg status  -i" will list all ignored files that are present in your working
directory. For other options, "hg help status".
