 Hi,

 I currently reworked one of my plugins to use a transient instead of an
 option for caching. - Now, I also wanted to provide a clean uninstall,
 thus not leaving the transient in the options-table.

 Obviously, the transient itself can be removed from the database by the
 usage of {{{delete_transient($name)}}}, though a
 ''_transient_timeout_name'' remains.

 Is there a particular reason for leaving this value? I know, that it is
 not auto-loaded, but imho still garbage...

 Berny
