I wrote rm_work.bbclass few years ago and it was always known as 'you can 
hit your own foot' solution due to lack of possibility to define WHEN 
exactly task will be started:

addtask rm_work right_before do_build after all_other_tasks

Maybe rm_work.bbclass should do:

BB_DEFAULT_TASK = "rm_work"
addtask rm_work after do_build

But I did not tested it yet (got that idea during Easter).
