What happens to blanked components in drawing views?

What happens to the references to items that are blanked when they are replaced? Do the drawings retain those references on the off chance the items will come back or is there house-cleaning that removes them?

I ask because I noticed there are views that indicate they have blanked items when I go to unblank them, but no items are highlighted. It is possible the items are both blanked in the view and excluded from the simplified rep; still, it would be nice to clean those up as well.

I always considered blanked in the same way as a different line font assignment.

They are in memory and must be regenerated.

Now you got me wonder'n
