Well, now that Potlatch is starting to disappoint those who want to
shoot themselves in the foot, maybe it is time to offer them something
new and exciting ;-)
On thing that we could look into is this: When you download a deleted
object (via the history) and then upload that same object completely
unchanged (including "visible=false"), it thereby becomes re-activated.
Currently it is just stupid script writers who stumble over that, but I
can foresee more trouble once we start handing out deleted objects
through the "map" call. Maybe change the behaviour so that uploading
something with "visible=false" actually does keep it deleted.
Bye
Frederik
