I’ve definitely seen deletions logged in my EAD OAI harvests, however, I 
haven’t tried to trace what actions are connected with those deletions or how 
it handles unpublishing portions or archival objects. 
I would suppose that it should update the EAD on the next harvest dropping the 
unpublished content, and a deletion only occurs when the top level resource is 
unpublished, but I can’t confirm that is does what I assume it should. 
( I would have to set up some test instances, as for most of the sites I’m 
harvesting from, I can’t view resources in the staff interface to check against 
the OAI harvest. )
