So just for the record, I would like a "deleted" column in Drupal.

In some of our internal applications, we've gone with a "deleted date" field to indicate when a particular record was marked as deleted by a user. So you get built in tracking of actions, and the system can easily filter out items with a deleted date (> 0 or "not null" depending how prefer your tables) while being able to hang onto the data in case it is needed later on. -Rowan
