No.  The reason for using `find-alternate-file' is to visit an
alternative file while killing the current file.  Removing it would be
`C-x k RET C-x C-f <file name>'.  I have been using
`find-alternate-file' frequently recently (more than 50 times in the
past week; usually I don't use it so frequently, but I have been
having troubles with my wireless connection).
