[savannah-help-public] [sr #108630] delete user doesn't

[Karl Berry]

Follow-up Comment #6, sr #108630 (project administration):

Indeed, in terms of the English words, I'd expect "delete" to remove all the
personal data and "suspend" to keep it.  Hmm.

I can theoretically imagine wanting to suspend an account without deleting the
data, but it's never come up (for me) in practice.

So if the user is not a member of any groups and has no tracker item, etc., I
guess I don't object to (a) merging the delete and suspend states, and (b)
removing personal data for both.

If the user has any such items, I think we should look at the situation and
not just blow them away.

As I recall, rms and others strongly suggested retaining a web-inaccessible
copy of data that is removed, somewhere/somehow ...

Thanks,
Karl
