Can you tell whether the file is actually reclaimable at that point, though? If I:
mount -o remount,ro / mount -o remount,rw /
after modifying libc.so or ld.so.cache, etc., the still in-use libc.so would be deleted at that point according to your statement above... and init & co. would likely crash.
