Benjamin Young commented on COUCHDB-576:
----------------------------------------
Use of seq is perhaps silly, but database should really be at least as hard to
delete as documents are. Right now it's *much* simpler to annihilate loads of
work than it is to destroy a single document.
Maybe a random UUID stored per DB used only for delete?
> Require current update_seq when deleting a database for extra safety.
