This is by design, although I would agree that it would be better if it were 
able to tell if it could reasonably remove the taint on a rebuild and do so 
automatically. Since this is something that's come up before (and I've 
lamented myself) I've filed an enhancement request so we have it tracked:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8100

At the moment it's marked "future" as I can't make any commitment to 
implementing it any time soon - someone else is welcome to have a go though.

Cheers,
Paul
