 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs

 Status:       patch (code needs review)

I think whether or not cotent gets deleted when a user does should be
optional.  When deleting a user, there should be a checkbox that says
"Delete user's content," defaulted to on.  Or there should at least be
a warning.


Quite a bit of the site could get unwittingly obliterated.  I've had
this happen to me.  I set up a test account.  Then I added some content
with the account.  After I was done with the account, I was quite
surprised to discover all the content gone.

I've added node_user hook, to re-assign all content from deleted users
to anonymous during deleting.

I think most admins expect that when a user is deleted, their content
is also deleted or at least hidden. 


While I don't want to see a GUI for this, I still like the idea of
controlling finer Drupal details though the $conf init array in
settings.php.

By the way: For my work (soc testsuite project) it would be quite handy
to have a dedicated user_delete function (like user_save). Is there any
policy or plan against this.
