If a file in the srcdir is removed, exposing a file in the underlaydir,
-ikiwiki will notice the removal and delete the page from the destdir. The
+ikiwiki will not notice the removal, and the
page from the underlay will not be built. (However, it will be if the wiki
gets rebuilt.)

+> This problem is caused by ikiwiki storing only filenames relative to
+> the srcdir or underlay, and mtime comparison not handling this case.
+
+> A related problem occurs if changing a site's theme with the
+> [[plugins/theme]] plugin. The style.css of the old and new theme
+> often has the same mtime, so ikiwiki does not update it w/o a rebuild.
