I tend to agree with Adam on this point. As a user, I'd prefer such things to
accumulate in my trash so that I could undo them; I really don't care what's
in the trash, just that's useful for undeleting things. Most operating systems
provide ways to periodically tidy up the trash, so I'm somewhat surprised that
a bug was issued to this fact.
