Comment (by dartiss):

 Replying to [comment:23 nacin]:
 > Expired transients should probably be removed using either
 delete_option() — akin to how get_transient() removes an expired
 transient, rather than announcing it with delete_transient()'s hooks — or
 since we are already doing straight database calls, with a DELETE. I don't
 think there is a need to do this noisily. It's kind of like something
 silently vanishing from a cache backend.

 I totally agree. I was using a simple selection of the transient by SQL in
 my plugin but using delete_transient to then remove them - amongst other
 things this isn't very efficient at removing large numbers of un-housekeep
 transients. I'm coding a change this week to replace it with a single SQL
 to achieve it.

 David.
