Include/exclude entities in recorder that not exist

Configuration
1

In order to keep our Home Assistant instance as clean as possible, it would be very convenient to check the entities that are included / excluded in the recorder, so that if that entity disappears from Home Assistant, a simple warning can warn us that it does not exist and that we can remove it from the recoder configuration file.

With the use of Home Assistant all these years, I have been accumulating many entities excluded from the recorder, which today do not exist. I think that these entities should no longer be there, and at least they should be warned in a warning, so that the user can eliminate them. In this way everything is cleaner and more efficient.

db_url: !secret database_url
exclude:
  domains:
    - automation
    - calendar
    - counter
    - group
    - persistent_notification
    - script
    - timer
    - updater
  entities:
    - binary_sensor.movimiento_cocina
    - binary_sensor.workday_sensor

This casuistry also applies to Google Assistant entity_config inclusions / exclusions.

Thanks

I guess it depends how it is implemented.
