Right. I committed your patch. The question if B DEL should respect expiry-target or not is orthogonal to this. > For me the best outcome would be if B DEL outright deleted the > article. But this may break somebody else's setup who has relied on B > DEL to expire articles. For them the patch is useful. Yup. I also like B DEL to really delete the article, but I don't think it is important enough to modify existing behaviour. Let's wait for someone to report it as a bug, and then we can discuss it. :-)
