Re: [regrep] [RS Issue] Need clarification on comment on line 1410

Sorry, that is unclear.

Currently, if a  removal is attempted against an object that has live 
references, the removal is aborted -- a very safe approach to be sure.  
My thought was that we could possibly make this more intelligent and at 
the same time allow the registry to deal with routine business evolution 
-- users leaving the company, data models being refactored, etc.

So, my thinking was to allow a registry administrator to delete an 
object and at the time of removal specify that all  references to the 
object being deleted be targetted/based at/on a new object.  The new 
object could be an equivalent object, or even a link to an auditable 
event which would allow browsers to at least see that a reference was 
forcibly removed.

Thanks,
Matt
