rmlint on /

I am looking to clean up my system, would it be dangerous to run rmlint on my / directory ?

After running, it looks like 6.31 gb of duplicates?

==> Note: Please use the saved script below for removal, not the above output.
==> In total 639500 files, whereof 84082 are duplicates in 46895 groups.
==> This equals 6.31 GB of duplicates which could be removed.
==> 114540 other suspicious item(s) found, which may vary in size.

It could be. Have you cleaned your log cache and package cache? That might be a huge benefit on system that has been up for a long time. I use to keep the current and 1 previous in package cache. Just for downgrading if i would need that.
