delete actions?

Maybe i'm too stupid - but is there actually a way to delete actions permanently 
If you have an armature and insert some keyframes in posemode, a new action is created automatically. You can then modify the individual action channels in the action window (or the ipos in the ipo window). This way you can also delete all action channels associated with the action. But what about the action block itself? In the action window there's this dropdown-list. But all actions i've created are automatically marked with an 'F' - so even if the datablock is empty and has no users anymore it's stored nevertheless. I haven't found a way to really get rid of actions if i don't need them anymore.
I know there's a rebuild of the animation system going on right now.
So - if there's no way to delete actions permanently, i'd like to propose enabling to mark or unmark unused action-blocks with 'F' by the user. Then one can simply unmark an action (disable 'F'), save and reload (just as with unused materials)
