AFAIR, yes. The command is intended to help users to clean up the eln-cache
of files _they_ compile, but it isn't supposed to touch *.eln files
installed as part of Emacs. That's for sysadmins. And besides, on many
systems the preloaded *.eln files are not writable by "normal" users.
See bug#48108, where this was discussed.
