Yes, I don't think users will be surprised that deleting an article in
the nnir group makes it go away forever. I mean, that's what they're
queried for on `B DEL'.

But this is only called with the "E"-marked articles. I guess if the
user sets the "E" mark on nnir articles, they probably know that it's in
danger of being deleted. But I don't think anybody will do that,
