Risk of data loss and usefulness of deprecated structures to migration 
scripts of other modules. For example in 7.0, the res_partner_address 
may be useful in the migration of other modules after base module upgrade.

Have a look at 
https://code.launchpad.net/~therp-nl/openupgrade-tools/7.0-add-database_cleanup 
for database cleanup.

Cheers,
Stefan.
