ADT purge then scripted Autocad purge

One of my most common ADT user support calls is "unpurgable AutoCAD content"
(referenced by unused styles) or "file bloat" due to unused unpurged style
related content (mvb view blocks etc). I have made a tool that runs a script
that presents the adt style manager, for the user to purge adt styles (cant
find how to do that from the command line), then on exiting style manager
immediately does an AutoCAD purge all.

Is the immediate AutoCAD purge after exiting Style Manager likely to have
any adverse effect on the files other than removing unreferenced AutoCAD
content.

We have been running similar process without problem. Performs couple of entity search and destroy missions and then goes to AEC Style Manager for 'manual' purge of 'schedule tables' and then does a purge all. So far no problems.
