The current model is that when you delete a node, the files associated with that node are also deleted -- both from the database and from disk. With this proposed patch, the files would remain on disk, and you'd have no way to delete them -- nor from the database, nor from disk. (Unless maybe you use a contrib module).
How do you all feel about this? Does this drawback (if considered a drawback) outweight the advantages of this patch?
Not killing the file or the db record of the file on node delete is a huge plus in my books. It means that it could be possible to re-attached to a different (or multiple) nodes without the user having to upload again. Upload once - use often. There would be no UI (yet) - but contrib modules could fill the void. andre
