listExportSteps() and getSortedImportSteps() now have unit tests and no 
longer return duplicates. AFAICS we now have a clean override behavior 
and nothing breaks if the same step is registered locally *and* globally.

But I agree there should be a way to remove obsolete and broken local 
steps. A method that removes local duplicates of global steps and a 
method that removes broken steps would be useful. Not sure if they 
should be run automatically or if there should be a cleanup button in 
the UI.
