Hey Gilles,
the stale data (in ImageTags) seems to be the result of some queries I made in
the DB with my DB browser.
I did not find more stale data in core DB that can be cleaned.
I just resolved the last thing I disliked. Before 5.5, items were marked as
Removed (now Trashed) and deleted after a retention period. So users may have
items with that status. But the garbage collection only removes Obsolete items. 
I adopted the CollectionsScanner to marke trashed items as obsolete after a
retention period. This way, users will also get rid of old trashed items.

Also, there are no more tables in thumbs and recognition db that are not
handled by the garbage collection.

To conclude: in functionality, we are finished for now. I am in fact working
with the garbage collection since we have the branch and did not encounter
problems. I would merge the branch into the master today. Then, more people can
test.

No need to postpone 5.5 - except users raid us with bug requests.
