Purging /var/adm/mountdtab

We have a Digital Unix NFS server whose /var/adm/mountdtab contains lots of
vestigial information. Is there any harm in purging this file the next time
(or every time) we reboot, or even doing it on the fly for the entries that we
know are no longer valid? Does anyone have any ideas why these entries were
never commented out or deleted from the file? I'd suspect that this was caused
by the NFS clients not unmounting the exported filesystems cleanly the last
time they had mounted them. It would be nice if 'showmount' displayed reliable
information once again.
